...FORTHCOMING OPERA "LORD BYRON" (to be given its world premiere in April by Manhattan's Juilliard School): "The world is full of orchestration operas-everything down to and including the kitchen stove, and then the singers have to yelp above it. Mine is a singing opera. I like the words and rather wanted them heard. Byron is the hero and the villain both. Byron slept with everybody around. He was, don't forget it, a lord, a millionaire, a genius and a beauty. And with all that, he had to misbehave every day to cut himself down...

Major black schools like Fisk, Tuskegee and Wilberforce still do not condone it. Perhaps...
...Budapest Quartet and the guiding genius behind the annual Casals Festival in Puerto Rico, is a man ill equipped by talent or temperament to put up with total beginners. Each participant arrived with a full supply of credentials, plus technique-gained largely from such conservatories as Eastman, Curtis or Juilliard. But at competitive schools like these, there is often an overwhelming emphasis on individual virtuosity and solo work. Schneider's main purpose was to teach the youngsters both the difficulties and the joys of making music together...
