---- 2013 ARSC PRESERVATION GRANT AWARD ----

The ARSC Preservation Grants Committee is pleased to announce the recipient
of the Grant for Preservation of Classical Music Historical Recordings. The
program for this grant was founded in 2004 by Al Schlachtmeyer and the ARSC
Board of Directors, to encourage and support the preservation of
historically significant sound recordings of Western Art Music by
individuals and organizations.

--- Los Angeles Philharmonic Archives ---

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Archives receives $10,000 to support digital
transfer, storage, and management of 47 reel-to-reel tapes of live concert
recordings from 1970 and 1971, produced by Pacifica Radio station KPFK in
Los Angeles and broadcast by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The KPFK Collection includes interviews with participating conductors,
musicians, composers, and others conducted by musicologist and composer
William Malloch, who introduced the broadcasts. Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria
Giulini, Nicolas Slonimsky, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Lukas Foss, Benjamin
Britten, and Alma Mahler are among the interviewees.

The recordings will be made available to researchers in the L.A.
Philharmonic Archives. Clips will eventually be placed on the L.A.
Philharmonic's website at www.laphil.com
