P. Donald Moses was a man of many passions. He loved the practice of law, running, golf, literature, poetry, fly fishing, wine, baseball – and Beethoven. He pursued each interest with intensity, driven to experience new works of music and literature and then discover what scholars had to say about them. He was especially moved by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. His is a story of how music can influence an ordinary man leading an ordinary life, of how it can bring joy and a depth of experience to anyone, not just the talented and the trained. In that spirit of inspiring personal growth, the Moses Memorial Fund seeks to offer education and exposure to many forms of music – the familiar as well as the more inaccessible.
