  3. ^ Chronicle NADINE BROZAN June 8, 1992
  4. ^ Over the years the students who have received Mae L. Wien Awards have graduated to rewarding ballet careers. Many dance with the New York City Ballet. Others have gone to professional companies both here and abroad: American Ballet Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Fort Worth Dallas Ballet, Maurice Bejart’s Ballet of the Twentieth Century, and the White Oak Project. Several of the older awardees’ performing careers have ended; some have stayed in the ballet world and are teachers, choreographers, and ballet mistresses. Others have pursued such diverse second careers as forestry, catering, finance, physical therapy and news casting.
  5. ^ In the late nineteenth century Herman Levy from Russia and Roselle Linker of France immigrated to New York. They married in 1904 and in 1909, on the 4th of July, their daughter Mae was born. The Levys lived in Manhattan and Mae attended Julia Richmond Elementary School and Washington Irving High School, Columbia University, and art school as well. At a New Year’s Eve party in 1928, Mae met Lawrence A. Wien and they were married the next year, returning from their honeymoon just before the infamous October stock market crash. The young married couple lived in Manhattan, then Brooklyn and, as Larry Wien’s business prospects flourished, in Connecticut. They had two daughters: Enid (“Dinny”) and Isabel. It was a close-knit family, and when Dinny married Lester Morse and Isabel married Peter Malkin, they and their children stayed intimately involved with the Wiens. The extended family spent major holidays together and often traveled together. Larry was involved with numerous New York City organizations and the Wiens were generous donors to Brandeis University, Lincoln Center, New York City Ballet, and especially Columbia University and Columbia Law School. He sat on the Lincoln Center Board for many years and was instrumental in admitting the School of American Ballet to Lincoln Center as a full constituent. When Mrs. Wien died in 1986, her husband and family established the annual Mae L. Wien Awards at SAB in her honor. At the same time, the family endowed a Faculty Chair in honor of Mrs. Wien. The first recipient of this honor was former ballerina and longtime faculty member, Alexandra Danilova. When she retired in 1989, the Mae L. Wien Chair passed to veteran teacher Andrei Kramarevsky.
  6. ^ The Mae L. Wien Awards were established at the School of American Ballet by Lawrence A. Wien with his daughters and their families to honor Mrs. Wien, a great devotee of ballet who was also deeply interested in young people. Each year several students are chosen to receive awards for their outstanding promise and a faculty member is honored for his or her distinguished service. When deemed appropriate by Peter Martins, a third award is given to a young choreographer. Please enjoy learning more about this prestigious award and its recipients.
  7. ^ SEAN LAVERY is from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and studied at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet as a young boy. He soon moved to New York to continue his ballet training with Barbara Fallis and Richard Thomas. After joining the San Francisco Ballet and then the Frankfurt Opera Ballet, he returned to New York and joined New York City Ballet in 1977. He quickly rose to principal rank and danced leading roles in most of George Balanchine’s ballets as well as in works by Jerome Robbins, Peter Martins and others. He began to teach at the Company and the School in the late 1980s, joining SAB’s permanent faculty in 2003. In addition, he assists Peter Martins at NYCB, where he teaches, stages ballets, and helps oversee the preparation of repertory schedules. Mr. Lavery also stages ballets for The George Balanchine Trust. MEGAN JOHNSON first came to SAB for the 2002 Summer Course and is now in the School’s most advanced class. She studied at the Academy of Dance Arts in Red Bank, New Jersey, as a young girl. Megan is dancing the lead in Concerto Barocco at this year’s Workshop and will perform it again in at the Kennedy Center next weekend. When she graduates from Professional Children’s School in June, she will receive the Jeffrey Lawrence Award for Excellence in All Subjects. LYDIA WELLINGTON grew up on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and has studied at SAB since she was seven. She performed children's parts in George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. As an advanced student, Lydia has danced in various choreography workshops both at the School and the New York Choreographic Institute. Lydia graduated from LaGuardia High School with awards in five subjects. At this year’s Workshop Performances she dances in Concerto Barocco, 2 & 3 Part Inventions, and Fanfare. SAMUEL GREENBERG made a memorable stage debut in the 2007 Workshop Performances dancing the Phlegmatic section of Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments. This year he will be seen in Jerome Robbins’s 2 & 3 Part Inventions and Fanfare. Sam first came to SAB in 2005 and is now in the most advanced men’s class, studying with Andrei Kramarevsky, Sean Lavery, Peter Martins, and Jock Soto. As a boy he trained in Tuscon, where his family lives, and at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. MICHAEL TUCKER was raised in Austin, Texas, where he studied at Ballet Austin. He first auditioned for SAB’s Summer Course when he was 14 and was awarded a full merit scholarship. In addition to his ballet studies, he has completed his academic studies (Professional Children’s School), continued his musical studies (flute) and choreographed for the School’s Student Choreography Workshop and the New York Choreographic Institute. He is dancing in Fanfare and 2 & 3 Part Inventions this year.
