USC Thornton School of Music receives gift from longtime professor
Violinist Alice Schoenfeld has donated $7m to the Thornton
School of Music of the University of Southern California (USC),
reports the Los Angeles Times. The money will establish a new
endowment to fund scholarships for string students.
Schoenfeld (pictured) started teaching at USC in 1960 and is
currently professor emerita of violin. Last year she donated $3m
for a new symphony rehearsal hall, which, like the scholarship
fund, is named in honour of her and her late sister, the cellist
Eleonore Schoenfeld.
