The decade of the 1970's was a very busy one for pianist / teacher / scholar Thaddeus Kozuch. Newly appointed as Head of DePaul University's School of Music Piano Department in 1970, his faculty recitals were performed yearly (the only exception being the year of his brother Robert's death). In 1971 Kozuch was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor.

 

Professor Kozuch performed several duo-piano recitals with other pianists in DePaul's Faculty Series and on the WFMT radio broadcasts from the Chicago Cultural Center in the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Series of concerts.

 

The Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in America, Inc. elected Professor Kozuch to its membership in 1974. Thaddeus Kozuch was also invited to give a recital and lectures at Poland's Congress of Scholars in 1979 from July 15 to 20 in Warsaw and Krakow. After retirement in 1979, recitals and private teaching continued as DePaul's emeritus professor of piano.
