Historical
note
|
The Ames International Orchestra Festival Association (AIOFA)
was officially formed in 1971 as a public relations organization
dedicated to bringing annual orchestral festivals to Iowa State
University’s C.Y. Stephens auditorium in Ames, Iowa.
The Association’s purpose is
threefold: to assist in the promotion of Festival events; to
develop audiences throughout Iowa and the Midwest; and to be
responsible for all hospitality programs for visiting orchestra
members, conductors and guest artists.
The idea for an association began
when a group of volunteers gathered to assist the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra with their performance at the inauguration
of C.Y. Stephens Auditorium in 1969. Iowa State University’s
Director of Concerts, Dr. Alvin Edgar worked with Ames residents
and solidified the group into the AIOFA.
The AIOFA continues to assist with
event publicity and coordinating hospitality for members of
visiting orchestras. Much of the hospitality work is done by the
group’s Festival Guild, an auxiliary body to the Board of
Directors.
