More on the Juilliard Gift

The NY Times has a piece on the Kovner gift. I didn't realize there were building an entire room for the collection at Juilliard (perhaps as part of his $25M gift to the School). Awesome. And according to the Times UK article, "Professor Curtis Price, principal of the Royal Academy of Music in London, said: 'This has turned the Juilliard into the premiere manuscripts collection almost overnight.'" Bruce Kovner is an amateur pianist and recently "bought a harpsichord to continue his keyboard indulgence." I'm always happy to hear of harpsichords in the news. Be sure to view the audio slideshow on the NY Times page.
