In 2010-2011, the Music Library installed exhibit cases funded by the estate of Claude Palisca, an Aaron Copland School of Music alum. Since then, we have curated annual exhibits to highlight people and activities in the Aaron Copland School of Music as well as materials held in the Music Library and the Queens College Library Special Collections and Archives.
