2006568217 description "Frank Damrosch, the oldest son of Leopold and Helene, was a conductor and teacher. He went to New York with his family in 1871, having studied composition and piano as a child. He first went into business in Denver, but soon devoted himself to music, founding the Denver Chorus Club in 1882 and being appointed supervisor of music in the Denver public schools in 1884. After the death of his father he became chorus master at the Metropolitan Opera, where he remained until 1892. In that year he organized the People's Singing Classes in New York for instruction in sightreading and choral singing; from this he developed in 1894 the People's Choral Union, with a mainly working class membership of 500. He directed both groups until 1909. He also founded in 1893 the Musical Art Society of New York and conducted it until it disbanded in 1920. In 1897-1905 he became supervisor of music in the New York public schools. He served as conductor of the Oratorio Society in 1898-1912, succeeding his brother Walter, and presented a series of symphony concerts for young people. At various times he conducted choral societies in towns near New York, but resigned most of these posts to found in 1905 the Institute of Musical Art. He was its director until 1926, when it merged with the Juilliard Graduate School to form the Juilliard School of Music; he then served as dean until 1933. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree by Yale University in 1904.".
