Daily Photo, #24

Photo for Thursday, July 16th, 2009

New York City is home to a world famous music institution, The Juilliard School.  On the way to a movie, I walked by the Alice Tully Hall, at night, a concert venue and part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.  The list of notable alumni from Juilliard has several household names such as Yo Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Itzhak Perlman, and Skipper Dan.    If you, as a listener, appreciate classical music or have dabbled in it, chances are you have come across music from an artist who has studied here.  Young, ambitious kids studying violin or piano, dreaming of playing Carnegie Hall, often aim for admission to the school; though, not every famous musician has studied here.  Most pop stars never consider attending.   

Why this for the Daily Photo?  This school is just too famous and iconic in the music world.
