The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Family Foundation Young Artists Showcase

The Gina Bachauer Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Family Foundation Robert Sherman Award

Tonight’s performance launches the 40th season of The McGraw Family Foundation Young Artists Showcase. Since its first season in 1978, the program has introduced more than 3,000 gifted musicians to the on-air audience. The Young Artists Showcase is broadcast on WQXR (105.9 FM) every Wednesday at 9pm and features performances by some of today’s most promising musicians.

The Gina Bachauer Memorial Scholarship Fund for gifted pianists was established at Juilliard in 1979 through a bequest from the late Lillian Rogers of New Orleans. Mrs. Rogers had been a lifelong friend of the eminent pianist Gina Bachauer, who died in 1976. It was Mrs. Rogers’ wish to honor in a tangible, permanent manner, Ms. Bachauer, whose artistry, compassion, and humanity she so admired. Recipients are chosen through an annual competition at Juilliard.

The McGraw Family Foundation Robert Sherman Award was created in 2002 to honor radio personality, journalist, author, concert narrator, and teacher Robert Sherman and to mark the 25th anniversary of the Young Artists Showcase. To foster excellence in music education at the community level, the award recognizes a Juilliard alumnus or alumna for leadership in providing enrichment to broad audiences through music education programs as well as for outstanding musicianship. The winner is provided with a $10,000 grant to further his or her mission in music education and community outreach and is selected upon recommendation by Juilliard.
