Upcoming Public Program

September 11, 2001, was the first day of classes for students at The Juilliard School. Among them were Dominick Farinacci, jazz trumpeter and composer, Erica Von Kleist, saxophonist and educator, and Carmen Intorre Jr., drummer and percussionist, all members of the school’s inaugural jazz studies program. That morning, students emerged from practice rooms with orders to evacuate, and in the following days and weeks, the arts served as the backdrop for the community as they gathered to cope with the trauma of the attacks.

In collaboration with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, 9/11 Memorial & Museum President & CEO Beth Hillman is joined by these musicians and Loren Schoenberg, NJMH Senior Scholar, to reflect on 9/11, its impact on these college students and the jazz community, and the power of music in times of tragedy.

The program will conclude with a musical performance.
