Kommilitonen! An Opera For Students, About Students Three tales of 20th-century student unrest—in Nazi Germany, Mississippi in the 1960s, and China during the Cultural Revolution—are the subject of Kommilitonen!, the Peter Maxwell Davies opera that has its U.S. premiere at Juilliard November 16. This Juilliard-Royal Academy of Music commission, directed by its librettist, David Poutney, also features lifesize puppets operated by the singers. More...Choreographers and Composers Join Forces Each year, through a competitive application process, six pairs of
third-year Juilliard dance students collaborate with mostly third-year
composition majors on the creation of six original works for dance and
music. The course, informally known as ChoreoComp, culminates in four public performances of all six
pieces, each involving multiple dancers and live musicians,
on December 2 and 3. More...Losier Is Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut Recitalist The annual Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut Recital is one of the highest profile
recitals at Juilliard; it also provides an opportunity to
launch the recital career of an already accomplished vocalist. This
year’s winner, mezzo-soprano Michèle Losier (Artist Diploma ’06, opera studies), will combine her recital with a month at the Metropolitan Opera as Siébel in Gounod’s Faust. The recital takes place December 1. More...Pintscher Makes His Juilliard Orchestra Debut Arguably the most successful composer of his generation, Matthias Pintscher’s résumé reads like many musicians’ wish lists, with works commissioned and performed by major performing arts institution in Europe and North America. The 40-year-old will make his
debut conducting the Juilliard Orchestra on November 5 in a concert that includes
his own music as well as works by Debussy, Ravel, and Hindemith. More...Juilliard Running Ensemble Is On Its Feet Juilliard and athletics have never been synonymous, to say the
least, although tales of past athletic activity—badminton, basketball,
hockey, ping-pong, and tennis—periodically surface. The softball team
strives valiantly and festively. Juilliard bikers
have participated in rides that raised funds for multiple sclerosis
research. It is in this intrepid
spirit that a new venture is launching: the
Juilliard Running Ensemble. More... |
