Bruce Kovner, has donated his extraordinary collection of rare music manuscripts to the School. Comprising approximately 140 items, the collection includes primary source materials for many of the seminal works of the repertoire, and represents one of the finest private collections of music scores to be amassed in the last century. The gift was formally announced on February 28 at a press conference held at Juilliard
