About the exhibit:

An Iowa native and a Hawkeye, conductor James Dixon (1928–2007) was instrumental in building orchestras at the University of Iowa, in the Midwest, and abroad. Through a look at Dixon’s adventurous international career, this exhibition provides a “behind the podium” look at how orchestras of all sizes connect with their communities and become crucial to sustaining them.

Co-curated by Sarah Suhadolnik and Katie Buehner, 'Orchestrating Community: The Public Service of Iowa Conductor James Dixon' uses materials from Special Collections and Archives and the Rita Benton Music Library at the University of Iowa Libraries to share the important work of orchestras through the lens of Dixon’s life.

The Main Library Gallery is open daily. Learn more about the exhibit and open hours at lib.uiowa.edu/gallery.
