ROYAL ACADEMY EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Returning Juilliard music students are invited to apply for the School’s
exchange program with the Royal Academy of Music in London. One candidate
will be selected to spend the 2004-05 academic year at the Royal Academy,
while a student from the Royal Academy spends the year at Juilliard.
The exchange program itself is not funded, but both students will be eligible
for their respective financial aid packages at their home institutions.
Any student who wishes to be considered for this program should contact
Dean Clapp’s office by Monday, March 1, 2004.
Attention Students: Juilliard
Summer Project Grants Are Available!
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 15, 2004.
International Summer Music
Academy in Leipzig
Juilliard students have a special
opportunity to participate in a summer program (July 16 through August
5, 2004) 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 Alan Kay 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 waived 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 19, 2004, to include an
audition recording.
For additional information, please e-mail

Applications Sought for Faculty
Prize
Faculty members are encouraged to apply for the 2004
John Erskine Prize. The annual $5,000 prize is open to Juilliard faculty
in all divisions, to help underwrite projects that will contribute 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
and are due on April 1, 2003.
Trip to Italy
Alumni are invited to travel to central Italy together this summer on a
tour specially arranged for Juilliard! From July 15-23, 2004, the
escorted tour will explore the musical and artistic riches of the
region’s glorious cities and picturesque hill towns.
We
will visit the quaint village of Spoleto, the great pilgrimage site of
Assisi, the ideal Renaissance city of Urbino, Rossini’s seaside
birthplace of Pesaro, the famed “Piero della Francesca Trail” at the
Tuscan border, and delightful Perugia (to attend the Umbria Jazz
Festival). We will conclude in Rome, where we will be treated to an
extraordinary, private, after-hours visit to the Sistine Chapel and the
Vatican Museums, which will be opened solely for our small group. For
more information, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (212)
799-5000, ext. 344, or via e-mail at
alumni@juilliard.edu.
Juilliard Alumni Centennial
Campaign
In the fall of 2003, Juilliard alumni Martha
Clarke, Bradley Whitford, and Gerard Schwarz wrote to alumni around the
world about a key component to the activities surrounding the School’s
100th anniversary: the Juilliard Alumni Centennial Campaign. This
campaign seeks pledges and donations from alumni over the next three
years, culminating in the centennial year, which will be celebrated in
2005-06.
Alumni are asked to help preserve the Juilliard legacy
for students of the next century by pledging their support—in any
amount—to the Juilliard Alumni Centennial Campaign. While each dollar
contributed to the Alumni Centennial Campaign will make a difference to
Juilliard, our goal is to have as many alumni as possible join in the
effort by contributing at a level that is comfortable and appropriate to
individual circumstances.
For more information, please contact the
Office of National Advancement and Alumni Relations at (212) 799-5000,
ext. 344, or by e-mail at
alumni@juilliard.edu.
