 The Filene Music Building is located next to the main entrance to campus off North Broadway. It houses the Music Department, including all faculty offices, practice rooms, and a 230-seat recital hall that is frequently used for public concerts.
The building is fully wheelchair-accessible, though via the side entrances.
Therese Filene was the mother of Helen Filene Ladd '22, a member of the first graduating class of the newly chartered Skidmore College. Therese was a gifted musician who played the violin, piano, and organ. In her other interests, she was an early supporter of what eventually became the USO and an active leader of the women's suffrage movement. Helen Filene Ladd served her alma mater throughout her life and was honored in 1967 with a doctorate of human letters from the College she called "my other home." That same year, she helped celebrate the dedication of the Therese W. Filene Music Building, named to honor her mother and made possible by the generosity of Mrs. Ladd and the Lincoln and Therese Filene Foundation. Creative Thought Matters.
