| Kurt Anderson, son of Leroy Anderson |
Don't miss Monday's concert dedicated to his music.
In 1975, Anderson died of cancer in Woodbury, Connecticut and was buried there. For his contribution to the recording industry, Leroy Anderson has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1620 Vine Street. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1988 and his music continues to be a staple of "pops" orchestra repertoire. In 1995 the Harvard University Band's new headquarters was named the Anderson Band Center in honor of Leroy Anderson.
Listen to one of Anderson's most beautiful melodies, Forgotten Dreams, written in 1954.
