The Collection, the largest of its kind in Canada, was displayed throughout the weekend at UBC's Main Library in the Ridington Room, where the public had an opportunity to view the many postcards, letters, scores, photos and portraits. The annotated catalogue of the Collection was available as a guide to the many items and interested parties could request a copy of it for their personal use and research (see The Collection Catalogue section of this site for more information). With more than 125 items, every period of Stravinsky's rich and varied life is represented in this unique and comprehensive Collection.

Scholars from around North America attended Stravinsky's Legacies, a two-day symposium featuring keynote speaker Richard Taruskin as well as presentations from Dr. H. Colin Slim, the donor of the Collection.

Two concerts were held over the weekend; the first, on April 6, featured the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, UBC's ensemble-in-residence, performing Stravinsky's Apollon Musagète as well as selections from the Baroque repertoire that inspired him.

The final event and highlight of the weekend was Stravinsky!, a re-creation, fifty years to the day later, of the all-Stravinsky concert that first inspired Dr. Slim to being collecting Stravinskiana. The original 1952 concert, held at UBC, featured the Canadian premières of the Concerto for Two Pianos and Les Noces, the latter of which Dr. Slim conducted in 1952. It also included Stravinsky's Duo Concertant. Current UBC School of Music students and faculty performed the programme, while members of the original performers watched from the audience, including donor Dr. Slim.
