  Estes Fund established by Department of Music
  
  

• The Department of Music has announced the creation of the "Simon Estes Fund for Musical Outeach."
  
  The fund will be used by the department to provide financial assistance for music scholarships and travel for deserving students and faculty.
  
  Simon Estes is the F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Artist in Residence in the Department of Music faculty. He is an internationally-renowned opera star.
  
  The announcement was made by Michael Golemo, chair of the Department of Music, during the Sept. 8 "reopening" concert of the newly-renovated Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. Estes was a featured performer at the event along with several other Department of Music faculty members.
  
  This past summer the recital hall underwent a renovation that includes new seating, improved acoustics and a digital video camera that will provide "real-time" viewing on the Department of Music web site (www.music.iastate.edu) of concerts, lectures and other activities in the recital hall.
  
  Funding for these various projects were made available through University funds and private donations by Iowa State alumni Ellen (Molleston) and Tom Walvoord and Deloris Wright.
  
  Individuals interested in contributing to the Simon Estes Fund for Musical Outreach should contact Stephanie Greiner, LAS director of development, at 294-8868 or at sgreiner@foundation.iastate.edu.
