| Abstract: | The Bascom Little Fund was created in 1966 to promote new music composed and performed in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, through the granting of funds to individual composers. The Bascom Little Fund also helps support the Cleveland Composers Guild of the Fortnightly Musical Club in the performance of new works by Guild members. The Fund began as a memorial to Bascom Little, a local architect and composer, by his wife Sue Lohmiller Little. The three original trustees were A. Dean Perry, H. Chapman Rose, and Dixon Morgan. The collection consists of correspondence, programs, grant requests, authorizations, minutes, reviews, newspaper clippings, tax returns, financial statements, and contracts. | |
