Lincoln Center Reception Establishes Corigliano Music Scholarships at Lehman College

Celebrities from the world of music and theatre joined with faculty, students and alumni of Lehman College to honor Distinguished Professor of Music John Corigliano at a reception May 10 in the Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center. The event, which established the Corigliano Music Scholarships at Lehman College, featured memorable performances of some of the composer's work by Jeffrey Multer, The Elements Quartet, Judy Kaye and Mitchell Cirker, Jeffrey Ziegler, and the Juilliard Pianists and Singers. Alumnus Michael Bacon and his brother, Kevin–better known as the Bacon Brothers–also performed one of Michael's new songs, which they recently recorded. Speaking about Professor Corigliano's impact as a teacher and composer were President Ricardo R. Fernández, famed conductor Leonard Slatkin, fellow composer Mark Adamo, student Eslie Bagnol and other friends, alumni and faculty members.

Among those attending the event were Susan and Elihu Rose, Beverly and Robert Bartner, Mary Rodgers and Henry Guettel, Stephanie and Jerry Junkin, Dr. Rosanne Wille and George Jacobs, and representatives of Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, G. Shirmer, ASCAP and William Rondina.

Some of Professor Corigliano's awards were on display for the evening.
