I chose to invite the 6 female peers that I felt influenced me the most from the Juilliard School from 1982-1987. They also always had a smile, always played their best and are such beautiful souls in this world. Welcoming in Wendy Stern (Montclair State), Liz Mann (Orpheus and St. Lukes), Sharon Wood Sparrow (Detroit Symphony), and Liz Buck (Arizona State University). Here in spirit, Marina Piccinini and Laura Gilbert.
