Fourth-year drama student Mahira Kakkar gave a speech urging students not to be closed off in their art at the annual convocation in the Juilliard Theater on September 3. Other speakers were master’s student Sharon Bogas, who spoke about the Juilliard Orchestra’s trip to Spoleto, Italy, and members of ArtReach, who reported on their summer camp in Florida. Also at convocation, classical and jazz musicians collaborated in a jazz arrangement of Beethoven's third "Razumovsky" Quartet. Later in September, the Juilliard community commemorated the second anniversary of 9/11 and opened the concert season with a multimedia project titled Afterlife. (Photo by Peter Schaaf)
