Notes for Notes Jane Gottlieb, Monica Fonorow, and Liza Vick Juilliard received a 124, 000 grant from the Leon Levy Foundation to digitize our Martha Hill Papers. A pathbreaking dance educator, Ms. Hill (1900–1995) was the founder and first Director of Juilliard's Dance Division, which was established in 1951. She brought notable choreographers to teach at Juilliard, among them Martha Graham, José Limón, and Antony Tudor. In other news, Juilliard received the papers and compositions of Kermit Moore (1929–2013) and Dorothy Rudd Moore (1940–2022). Cellist, composer, and conductor, Kermit Moore studied at Juilliard with Felix Salmond; he and his wife Dorothy Rudd Moore founded the Society for Black Composers in 1968. The Kermit Moore Collection also includes compositions by Duke Ellington (1899–1974) and Gordon Parks (1912–2006), with whom he collaborated on several projects. The Dorothy Rudd Moore Collection includes manuscripts of her own compositions, including materials for her opera Frederic Douglass. Both collections will be fully processed in the time ahead.
