Arlingtonian For 43 Years Ahead of 90th Birthday
Carl Ruggles, longtime Arlington resident living at Cut-Leaf Maples, will turn 90 on March 11. A former resident of a schoolhouse on School Street, he has spent 43 years in Arlington. New York Times critic Raymond Ericson called him a curious and important figure in American music, praising his rugged individualism and modernity as an inspiration to native composers in the 1920s and 1930s.

Carl Ruggles Honored at Bowdoin Festival in Maine
Allan Kemler of The Christian Science Monitor calls the Bowdoin College event a historic moment to place Carl Ruggles in a deep and secure niche in world music history. He argues the American composer, long neglected, now earns recognition equal to great European innovators.
