Society of Peabody Alumni<\/strong><\/p>\n Citation for the Peabody Distinguished Alumni Award<\/p>\n Presented to<\/p>\n Ann Schein<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n December 5, 2012<\/p>\n Ann Schein, today we recognize and congratulate you for your distinguished professional achievement as an internationally acclaimed performing and recording artist, and as a beloved teacher.<\/p>\n You came to Peabody Conservatory at a very young age to study with Mieczyslaw Munz and then you did what every Conservatory student hopes to do, you left school and jumped into an international solo performing career.<\/p>\n At age 19, you were asked to make a series of recordings on Kapp records and went immediately on to an international career. You started right out with a succession of trans-U.S. and European tours which included recitals in major cities as well as appearances as soloist with top rank orchestras.<\/p>\n In 1962 you gave the first of numerous Carnegie Hall recitals, and in 1963 you played at the White House by invitation of President and Mrs. Kennedy.<\/p>\n Since then you have maintained an enviable career including ten worldwide tours under the U.S. State Department auspices, more than 5 tours of South America and several tours of Russia.<\/p>\n Along the way you added teaching to your list of skills and accomplishments but never stopped performing. Your former students still rave about having you as a teacher and for two decades you shared your knowledge with them. You left Peabody in 2001 but have graciously been back many times to perform as a guest artist.<\/p>\n Since 1984, you also have taught countless students at the Aspen Music Festival and from 2006-2008 you held the Victoria and Ronald Simms Chair there.<\/p>\n Most recently, you are featured in the book,\u00a0Five Lives in Music: Women Performers, Composers, and Impresarios from the Baroque to the Present<\/em>\u00a0by Cecelia Hopkins Porter, longtime classical music critic for The Washington Post. In the book\u2019s summary you are described as \u201ca brilliant and dauntless American piano prodigy.\u201d<\/p>\n With this award we celebrate all that you have accomplished, and we couldn\u2019t be more proud to have you as part of the continuing legacy of this great conservatory.<\/p>\n On behalf of The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University it is our distinct honor to confer upon you the Peabody Distinguished Alumni Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Peabody Distinguished Alumni Award (2012) Society of Peabody Alumni Citation for the Peabody Distinguished Alumni Award Presented to Ann Schein December 5, 2012 Ann Schein, today we recognize and congratulate […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":0,"parent":4895,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19527","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19527"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19547,"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19527\/revisions\/19547"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peabody.jhu.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
