Old Dominion University Libraries and the Virginia Arts Festival 2005 are
sponsoring an exhibit highlighting John Duffy, a two-time Emmy-winner who
has composed more than 300 works for symphony orchestra, opera, theater,
television and film. "John Duffy: a Living Inspiration," emphasizes the
composer’s life from his own earliest inspirations to his greatest
achievements including his own comments on art in relation to politics and
censorship.  The print exhibit will be available for public viewing in the
Reading Room of the Diehn Composers Room from April 25-June 10, 2005.  A
gateway to Mr. Duffy’s official Web site is available online at
http://www.lib.odu.edu/musiclib/exhibits/duffy2005

>From April 25-May 9, 2005, the John Duffy Composers Institute, founded by
the Virginia Arts Festival, will feature five master composers:  John
Duffy, Dr. Billy Taylor, Tania León, John Corigliano, and Mark Adamo. The
exhibit and institute events are made possible by the Virginia Arts
Festival and a grant from the F. Ludwig Diehn Music Fund of the Norfolk
Foundation. For more information about the John Duffy Composers Institute,
