Max Susan Seidel Jean and Kevin McLaughlin AS OF APRIL 17, 2019 2 | Juilliard Spring Gala • May 1, 2019 WELCOME Tonight we look back over the past year—and what a year it has been. Since Convocation in early September, there have been well over 700 performances here at Juilliard! This has been our inspiration for tonight, to try and capture the thrilling range of what goes on here in music, dance, and drama, and the myriad collaborative permutations made possible by having these disciplines all under one roof. The community that is Juilliard is knit together through overlapping and shared experiences, and the performances you will see this evening were achieved with the deep and abiding commitment of our faculty, led by Provost and Dean Ara Guzelimian, our staff, our guest artists and new creative associates, and our trustees, led by Chairman Bruce Kovner. All are engaged in a common goal: to support the dreams of these extraordinary young artists of the future. Our true task is to live up to our students’ inspiring potential, to provide the platform for them to soar. And all of you here tonight are an essential part of their success, now and in the years ahead. As so many Juilliard-educated artists have shaped and reshaped the cultural landscape for more than a century, so too will this generation. We are so grateful for your support of our students and for your belief in our mission. Thank you for being with us tonight to celebrate a year of creativity and excellence that could only happen at Juilliard. Onward!
