Juilliard financially supports, in full or part, the summer activities of a small number of students who engage in structured summer projects outside their regular professional artistic studies. The projects should be designed both to expand students’ professional versatility and to strengthen their sense of social responsibility as artists. Preference will be given to projects that have not only educational value to the student beyond conventional artistic or academic studies, but also potential benefit to others, especially those in underserved areas of the United States. Students are encouraged to apply for summer grants by submitting a written description of the projects and proposed budget, including contributions by the applicant and other funding sources, to the Dean’s Office by March 18, 2002.

International Summer Music Academy in Leipzig

Juilliard students have a special opportunity to participate in a summer program (July 19 through August 8, 2002) presented by the Hochschule fur Musik “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” in Leipzig, Germany, in collaboration with The Juilliard School. The Academy offers intensive individual instruction, chamber music, and numerous master classes, workshops, and lectures, as well as a wonderful opportunity to experience musical and cultural traditions.

Juilliard faculty members Bruce Brubaker, Stephen Clapp, and Jacob Lateiner will be among the faculty of the International Summer Music Academy in Leipzig this summer. All instruction is available in English. Students will have the opportunity to appear in public concerts in the main Leipzig halls. The application fee will be eliminated for registered Juilliard students, and financial aid is possible. A group round-trip rate from New York to Leipzig has been arranged. Applications are available in the Dean’s Office. The application deadline is March 8, 2002. For additional information, please e-mail kbb@hmt-leipzig.de or visit www.hmt-leipzig.de. Additional information is also available on the Juilliard Web site at www.juilliard.edu/special/isma.html.

Applications Sought for Faculty Prize

April 1 is the deadline for faculty members to apply for the John Erskine Prize. The annual $5,000 prize is open to faculty in any division to help underwrite projects that will make a contribution to their field of the performing arts. Special consideration will be given to activities that are interdisciplinary in nature and that make a contribution to the community.

Applications, including a description of the project and a budget, should be addressed to the Dean’s Office.
