|| About the Collection ||
Born in Manila in the Philippines, American composer John Haussermann (1909-1986) moved with his family to New Richmond, Ohio, in 1915. Afflicted with cerebral palsy from childhood, Haussermann studied music at the Cincinnati Conservatory (1924–27) and at Colorado College before going to Paris in 1930 to study organ with Dupré. In 1934 Haussermann moved to Cincinnati, where he founded a contemporary concert series. Haussermann's best-known composition is his "Voice Concerto" (1942).
