Announcements
A documentary is currently in development about Lorenzo Dow Fuller Jr., a Juilliard alumnus (1945-47) who studied voice with Belle Soudant and went on to an extraordinary career. Fuller was NBC’s first black TV host, special material writer, and musical director (c. 1947-52). He also costarred with Rosamond Vance Kaufman in Van and the Genie on WPIX and hosted the show Man About Music (Dumont). Fuller went on to work with many early television pioneers including NBC’s Warren Wade and Bill Kaufman, as well as Robert Montgomery, Arthur Godfrey, Ted Steele, and Jerry Lester. If you have any information about Fuller’s days in early television and his career as a traveling minstrel, radio host, and coach and arranger, as well as his work with composers such as Cole Porter and Gershwin and producers like Group Theater’s Cheryl Crawford, please contact Angela Logan at mplogan2@hotmail.com.
Auditions for new Juilliard School piano accompanists will be held in early
October 2004. Accompanists are paid by the School to play for vocal and
instrumental lessons, classes, and recitals. Only students enrolled at
Juilliard for the fall term are eligible to apply. Repertoire and other
requirements are posted on the accompanists’ bulletin board, on the fifth
floor across from the library. Information regarding the auditions date and
procedures will be available at the beginning of the school year.
The Office of Student Affairs invites students, staff, and faculty to attend
the annual Spring Picnic on May 7 on the Milstein Plaza. The fun begins at 1
p.m.! Enjoy food, games, and entertainment all afternoon. A Juilliard ID is
required for admission. Want to perform at the picnic? Stop by the O.S.A.
(Room 219) or call (212) 799-5000, ext. 200, for more details.
Perhaps you’re organizing concerts in homeless shelters ... traveling to an exotic location to teach dance ... or starting a theater company in some out-of-the-way village. The Juilliard Journal is looking for students to write short articles for the September and October issues about their experiences. If you’re interested, please give us a call: Ira Rosenblum (ext. 7340) or Jane Rubinsky (ext. 341). And if you’re not sure what you’re doing qualifies, call anyway!
Oh, yes ... you’ll get PAID.
All grades of I or X from Fall 2003 must be completed no later than May 10.
Notify the registrar in writing as soon as the work has been completed. Note:
Instructors may set an earlier deadline, so be sure to check with your
instructor.
