Stoeckel, Carl (1858–1925)| US music patron. His home was a centre of music and the arts and he provided funds for various local cultural institutions. |
| In 1899 he sponsored the first of a series of annual concerts that in 1906 moved to his Norfolk estate in Connecticut. This series, which attracted major performers and conductors – including Jan Sibelius in 1914 – and for which new works were commissioned, has continued ever since as a summer music festival. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of a music professor at Yale. |
