Biographical Note / Historical Note / Administrative History
The Sue Drexa Smith Memorial Concerts were established by Miss Eleanor Smith and her sister Mrs.
Myron Gray of Muncie in 1936 as a memorial to their sister who died in Prague in 1907 while studying
the violin. The original series of concerts was discontinued in 1970. The concerts were resumed in
1974 after the death of Eleanor Smith and a large donation from her estate was set aside to continue the
concerts. The series brought well known European and American ensembles to play at Ball State.
