One Hundred Years of Hartt

"Demaris Hansen perfectly describes the creativity and devotion to art—from Moshe Paranov through Jackie McLean to Malcolm Morrison—that has since 1920 driven The Hartt School, inspired its students, and since 1957 helped define the University of Hartford."

~Walter Harrison, President Emeritus, University of Hartford

"The extraordinary vision of the founders lives on in the work of today's faculty, staff, and students. My colleague, Demaris Hansen, has done a remarkable job of capturing Hartt's rich and colorful history."

~Larry Alan Smith, Dean, The Hartt School

"To commemorate the centennial, Hartt published a lavishly illustrated book documenting its history, One Hundred Years of Hartt, written by music education professor Dee Hansen"
