Her husband, Benno, the vio lin half of their internationally acclaimed duo, will join his wife onstage July 31st for a program of sonatas for violin and piano. Mrs. Rabinoff speaks of her teaching in New York: “Work at the Juilliard is high ly intense. A lot of competition. Brevard is more of a commun ity. Everyone is there making music and there is a great deal of cooperation. “The ratio of students to teachers is low enough that I am able to get a personal feel ing for every student, even in theory class.” Since an 18-year-old pianist named Sylvia Smith made her debut on a Paris stage “some years ago,” lovers of the piano — -- — ——.a—® ^—a ^ y,, n f > — particularly ot of Europe to witness the skills of the native New Yorker. Mrs. Rabinoff’s first visit to the Cen ter here was a brief one, an overnight stay and performance in 1966.

But I did not get to know the students the first time I was here? “I did not realize just how good their music would be. There is nothing average or amateur about the work of the students at Brevard. The stu dent recitals are wonderful. I look forward to bearing the musk myself. Does that sound strange? But it’s true. Their music really is professional.” Beyond the 180 acres of the Center itself, the world traveller finds the town of Brevard “a wonderful community, very friendly!” “Here (In New York) you can’t walk the streets at night. Those ol my students here at Juilliard who were with me last summer at Brevard can’t wait to return/* Dedication Date To Be Announced Progress reports were given by Charles S.
