Rousseau Celebration
The Rousseau Celebration took place in October of 2008. That weekend more than 80 former students and colleagues converged in Greensboro, North Carolina, to celebrate Dr. Rousseau's legacy. Below you will find artifacts created for the weekend, including pictures of many of the concerts, letters from students, colleagues and friends, a recording of a Concerto written for the event honoring Dr. Rousseau, and the Rousseau Legacy Map, which includes most of Dr. Rousseau's students and where they are teaching o performing now. As of this writing, in 2014, Dr. Rousseau is still going strong at the age of 82. What an amazing and inspiring man!
