Thatcher Music Building
Thatcher Music Building, named in honor of Madge Rice
Thatcher and Harry S. Thatcher, was dedicated in 1970.
Inside Thatcher Music Building, you'll find offices and studios for the Music
Department, Bryant Hall for ensemble rehearsals, the
Victor Montgomery Music Library, practice rooms, and
listening rooms. Ralph H. Lyman Hall, an auditorium with
seating for 250, honors the memory of a professor who was
chair of the Music Department and director of Pomona's
Glee Clubs and choir from 1917 to 1948. The Ussachevsky
Electronic Studio, created through a generous bequest from
the late electronic music pioneer Vladimir Ussachevsky
'35, contains state-of-the-art equipment for the
production and recording of electronic music. Thatcher is
also home of the College's student-run FM radio station,
KSPC, which broadcasts with a power of 3,000 watts.
Bridges Hall of Music
 Mabel Shaw Bridges Hall of Music, given in 1915 by Mr. and
Mrs. Appleton S. Bridges of San Diego in memory of their
daughter, a member of the Class of 1908, has historically
been the center of musical activities at the College.
Better known as "Little Bridges," it seats 600 and
provides a remarkable space for public events and
performances of all kinds, including those of the Pomona
College Orchestra, Choir, Glee Club, and other musical
ensembles. These programs present a broad spectrum of
literature including classical, jazz, and vernacular
music, both Western and non-Western. Through a gift of the
Bertha Lebus Trust, the south wings of the building were
renovated in 1972 and dedicated as Bertha Lebus Court.
Further renovations were completed in 2001.
Inside Bridges Hall of Music
you'll find the new Hill
Memorial Organ, a gift of John J. Hill '22 and Eugene H.
Hill '26 in honor of their mother, Carrie Schnitker Hill,
was built by C. B. Fisk of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and
dedicated in May 2002.
