Please make certain that all electronic devices are turned off during the performance. The taking of photographs and use of recording equipment are not permitted in the auditorium. Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • Juilliard String Quartet Today, with (L to R) Smirnoff, Krosnick, Rhodes and Copes
    Opposite page: The Juilliard String Quartet today, with (l to r) Smirnoff, Krosnick, Rhodes and Copes. Inset: In the late 1950s with Hillyer, Mann, Isidore Cohen and Claus Adam. he Juilliard String Quartet is arguably America’s best-known chamber music ensemble—and certainly one of the most admired. And although its current members are only in middle age, the quartet itself cannot escape the adjective “venerable.” Violinist Robert Mann founded the T group in 1946 with violist Raphael Hillyer, cellist Arthur Winograd and the late violinist Robert Koff. With Mann in the first violinist’s chair for an amazing fifty of the ensemble’s sixty-one years— and with remarkably few other personnel changes—the quartet has performed and recorded, taught aspiring chamber musicians, championed American com- posers, and introduced at least two generations of concertgoers to the European masterworks. In 1962—with Isidore Cohen as second violinist and Claus Adam as cellist—the Juilliard succeeded the legendary Budapest String Quartet as ensemble-in-residence at the Library of Congress and went on to perform there often broadcasting live concerts nationwide for 40 years. In recognition of its extraordinary contribution to the nation’s cultural #life, the Juilliard String Quartet has been named the 2008 recipient of Chamber Music America’s Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award, the organization’s highest honor. On January 6, 2008, founding members Mann, Winograd, and Hillyer will #join Earl Carlyss (violin II from 1966 to 1986) and the current quartet— violinists Joel Smirnoff and Ronald Copes, violist Samuel Rhodes, and cellist Joel Krosnick—to receive the award at CMA’s Thirtieth Anniversary National Conference in New York City.
