ICA Resource Library Receives New Donations
The ICA Resource Library is housed at the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at the University of Maryland. The library features a large collection of clarinet music and resource materials available exclusively to ICA members. Members can visit the library or borrow materials from the collection by mail. The collection recently received substantial donations from the late Harry “Bud” Rubin, and the parents of Annette Luyben, Robert and Annette Luyben.
Donated materials were organized by ICA’s past historian Alan Stanek and are now available to ICA members. The items donated by Bud Rubin include an immense collection of rare cassette tapes featuring performances from past ClarinetFests® by Mitchell Lurie, Sidney Forrest, Stanley Drucker, Guy Deplus, Karl Leister and more. Materials from the Luyben family include programs, flyers, obituaries, photos and other various documents from the early days of the ICA.
For more information on how to view these wonderful new donations as well as the remainder of the collection, please visit https://ica.wildapricot.org/ICA-Resource-Library and log in using your ICA login information. A full list of the new donations can be viewed below.
