Our
History
Friends of Music was founded in 1976 by Professor of Music Dr. Ellen King
Kravitz. With help from other dedicated music enthusiasts an organization was
created to assist talented musicians currently enrolled in the music program at
Cal State LA. Initially, Dr. Kravitz and her husband, Hilard L. Kravitz, M.D., hosted
several social events designed to build a base of support. Today, the Friends of
Music organization has grown to include hundreds of members and a governing
board of directors.
