The late John Spencer Camp Professor of Music Emeritus Richard K. Winslow ’40, Hon ’10, P ’71, GP ’23 (1918–2017) taught and conducted Music at Wesleyan from 1949 to 1983. During his tenure he helped found Wesleyan’s World Music Program, arrange the publication of John Cage’s Silence (1961), and take the Wesleyan Concert Choir on numerous international tours. William Brooks ’65, who credits much of his thinking to Winslow’s tutelage, is creating editions of significant pieces from Winslow’s substantial compositional oeuvre.
