Rose Fay Thomas and her sisters came to Chicago to take up residence with their brother, Charles Norman Fay, in 1878. Joan Bentley Hoffman, Chicago music historian, will provide a detailed look into this singular generation of the Fay family’s remarkable endeavors - from organizing the Orchestral Association to bring Theodore Thomas’s orchestra for permanent residence to authoring several highly successful books, and from convening and nationalizing women’s music clubs at the 1893 Columbian Exposition to the founding of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Image Courtesy of the Anti-Cruelty Society.

This is the first in a series of three spring lectures at Glessner House Museum exploring the role of Chicago women in classical music at the turn of the 20th century.
