Photographs, 1985-2004
Finally, the Photographs, 1985-2004 series contains negatives of Sheng, his family, colleagues, and associates in both informal settings and at various premiers, performances, and other engagements. These copy negatives were made from prints loaned by Sheng. Notable figures in these photographs include Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Serkin, Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Mazur, Emanuel Ax, Aaron Copland, and David Henry Hwang. In the detailed listing describing the photographs in the boxlist, numbers in square brackets are arbitrarily assigned identifying numbers, while the number in parentheses is the Bentley Library's negative number.
