Remembering Elliott Carter
Photo by Jeffrey Herman
Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and former Juilliard faculty member Elliott Carter was 103 when he died on November 5, yet his death seemed to catch many off guard. He had been a major voice in American music for such a long time that, as one Facebook post said, "we thought he'd live forever." The Journal asked several Juilliard community members who knew Carter to share their memories of the man who, as The New York Times wrote in its obituarty, was "one of the most important and enduring voices in contemporary music." Read the tributes.

4 New Dance Works Are Unveiled
For Juilliard Dance, the holiday season is heralded not by performances of The Nutcracker but by the New Dances series (Dec. 12-16), for which four choreographers create new works, one for each class, and then unveil them to the public. This year, the honors went to (clockwise from top left) Camille A. Brown (working on the freshmen), Emery LeCrone (sophomores), Susan Shields (juniors), and Jarek Cemerek (seniors). Read about them in The Juilliard Journal.

Rule, Britannia!

Focus! festival on Feb. 1. (Photo by Sim Canetty-Clarke)
The 2013 Focus! festival ("The British Renaissance") celebrates the flowering of composition in the United Kingdom since World War II, a cultural triumph that should "put to rest any lingering questions about British musicality," writes festival director Joel Sachs in a special Journal feature. Focus! opens on Jan. 25 with Sachs leading the New Juilliard Ensemble in music by Jonathan Harvey, Alexander Goehr, Helen Grime (a young Scottish composer), John Woolrich, and Colin Matthews. From Jan. 28 to 31, there will be chamber and solo concerts. And making his Juilliard debut, Mark Wigglesworth closes the proceedings conducting the Juilliard Orchestra on Feb. 1. To kick off this celebration of British music, Juilliard Opera will present one-act operas by Britten and Vaughan Williams, Dec. 9-13.
