The Nelson Riddle Endowment

In 1998, the University of Arizona received an endowment on behalf of the estate of the late Naomi Riddle, widow of the famed composer and arranger Nelson Riddle. It comprised the entire personal collection of the legendary arranger and conductor Nelson Riddle’s work.  In addition, funds were set aside to create the Nelson Riddle Endowed Chair in Music, a position held by Director of Orchestral Activities, Thomas Cockrell.
