Announcement
 Applications Sought for Faculty Prize Faculty members are encouraged to apply for the 2006 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 3, 2006. Once again, Juilliard is pleased to offer a series of free seminars from February 6-21 designed to help alumni and current students improve their professional development skills. Come to all, or just one or two sessions, and get valuable advice from industry experts. (Students: You can attend these seminars for Horizon Credits. For information, call the Office of Residence Life at ext. 7400.) All seminars take place in the 11th-floor lounge in the Rose Building and begin at 6 p.m. For detailed descriptions, visit the Juilliard Intranet. Have you heard of the Isle of Wight Project or Art-in-Action? These summer projects were created by Juilliard students and funded, in part, by the School. Proposals for summer projects—which must reflect your sense of social responsibility as an artist and have educational value to you as a student—are due March 1, 2006. If interested, pick up a Summer Grant information sheet in the Dean’s Office today. What will you be doing next summer? Juilliard shares a yearlong student exchange program with the Royal Academy of Music in London, and is now accepting applications from currently enrolled music students. One candidate will be selected to spend the 2006-07 academic year at the Royal Academy, while one Royal Academy student studies at Juilliard. This exchange program itself is not funded, but both students will be eligible for financial aid packages from their home institutions. Any student who wishes to be considered for this program should contact the Dean’s Office as soon as possible. Applications are due by March 1, 2006. 180 Maiden Lane, Ground Floor Lobby Tuesdays, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. February 7: Dimitrova and Fukuda Duo Stanichka Dimitrova, Violin Hiromi Fukuda, Piano Works by Bach, Paganini, Brahms, and Bolcom February 14: Young-Ah Tak, Piano Works by Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, and Liszt February 21: Walter Schick Jazz Trio Walter Schick, Piano David Phillips, Bass Benny Koonyevsky, Drums Popular American standards February 28: Aaziza and Mealiff Duo Fatima Aaziza, Violin Julie Mealiff, Piano Works by Respighi and Brahm | |||
