Beeson's Dr. Heidegger at Hunter College Opera

Today Hunter College Opera Theater performs Jack Beeson's one act opera, DR. HEIDEGGER'S FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. Jack was one of the founding board members of the Moore Fund and a close friend and colleague of Douglas Moore. There is a lovely recording of the opera.

Since its founding by composer James Stepleton, the Douglas Moore Fund has provided a fellowship to five aspiring opera/music theater creators. To date, five composers have received the fellowship, including Aleksandra Vrebalov, Gabriel Gould, Eli Marshall, Dan Visconti, and Zachary Wadsworth.

The fund is named to honor Douglas Moore and a group of opera and theater composers associated with him. In addition to his own work, Moore was helped a generation of composers through his work at the Columbia Opera Workshop.

The fund is currently concentrating its activities related to Moore's works.

The Moore Fund's chair is composer and conductor Michael Ching
