---- 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.
