In the winter of 1944 Stravinsky lectured on “Composing, Performing, Listening,” and then joined members of the Pro Arte Quartet (newly in residence at UW-Madison) in a performance of three of his works. Stravinsky and Boulanger were both guests of the college during that period Boulanger spent a total of four summers in Wisconsin, two at Edgewood and two at the Dominican mother house in Sinsinawa.
