The Mary Bloor Loser ’42 Musical Series was established in 1987 through the generosity of Thomas N. Loser and Ann Bloor, husband and mother of the late Mary Bloor Loser, Wheaton Class of 1942, to honor her love of music and of Wheaton. For many years the series has offered members of the Wheaton College community an opportunity to hear the work of major musical performers. We have been privileged to host these artists:
