The impact of modern sound equipment on the music world inspired the Mandal to embark on this project. Twenty-five years ago, we began building an extensive audio collection, focusing on private concerts, lectures, seminars, discussions, and compositions. Our library features live recordings dating back to 1950, capturing performances from around the country.
With a progressive outlook from our donors, we have amassed recordings from about 275 artists, showcasing their performances at various events nationwide. These recordings are meticulously cataloged in four basic ways, making the collection an invaluable resource for research-oriented students. Here, they can study, compare, and explore a diverse range of styles and performances all in one place
