Since July 1, 2008 a news release at Juilliard.edu has read, ”The Juilliard School, now in its 103rd year, announces a season of more than 700 dance, drama, and music (classical and jazz) performances featuring Juilliard students, faculty, and special guest artists in 2008-09. Almost all of these events are FREE and are open to the public; some carry a nominal charge.” The African American conductor James DePreist (b. 1936), who is profiled at AfriClassical.com, will lead the Juilliard Orchestra in a concert at Carnegie Hall on Dec. 12, 2008. Works on the program are: Enescu: Rumanian Rhapsody in D major, Opus 11, no. 2; Prokofiev: Concerto No. 2 in G minor for Violin and Orchestra, Opus 63; Corigliano: Symphony No. 1.
