I received the message below from a friend at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville (SIUE).who asked me to pass it on. I will forward any responses to him. Did I mention to you that I'm now involved in developing the Ruth Slenczynska Archive at my univ.? She's been artist-in-residence here for 36 years. Since she turned 75 this year, SIUE gave me a summer grant to try to locate as many of her live performances as possible. I'd appreciate it if you could see if any of the your contacts (including universities) have any of her live recordings. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack; I've had some notices posted on various piano and classical recording user groups, but very little response. Sometimes I have success, however. Just yesterday I was informed that a 1983 recital she played at the Univ. of KY was in their music library, and last week I received a radio broadcast from Icelandic Radio.
