Letter from the Dean
Dear Alumni and Friends:
en·core:
a demand for repetition;
a second achievement
that surpasses the first
Welcome to the premiere edition of ENCORE, which replaces Museletter as a news and
events forum for Boyer’s alumni and friends.
Each year, our faculty achieve the highest level of academic and artistic excellence through
performance, research, writing, composing, teaching and lecturing. Take a look at the
faculty news section and events calendar and you’ll see the rigorous activities in which
they’re engaged throughout the year.
Our alumni continue to represent Boyer on national and
international levels by teaching, composing, arranging,
performing and actively supporting their alma mater. In fact,
the number of Boyer alumni choosing to make a gift has
increased annually, with 2006-07 reflecting the second
highest participation rate among non-professional schools
and colleges at the university. Many thanks to our dedicated
alumni for making this possible.
Our alumni continue to represent Boyer on
national and international levels by teaching,
composing, arranging, performing and
actively supporting their alma mater.
President Hart recently announced Temple’s $350 million capital campaign. I am pleased to
announce that Boyer’s original goal of $6 million, as part of that campaign, has been raised
to $12 million due to several major gifts which will create opportunities within the College as
well as partnerships with other schools and departments.
Two Temple alumnae have made unprecedented bequests to the Boyer College. Through an
extraordinary gift of theater rights, Joy Abbott will help to create a center for musical theater
and BFA program. Additionally, Ann Robinson has announced plans to give back to her alma
mater with a bequest for full graduate voice and opera scholarships.
Lastly, I invite you to learn more about a new initiative, Boyer: Building Better Communities
(BBBC), which highlights our outreach efforts and supports President Hart’s vision of the University continuing to play a prominent role in the city’s cultural development. If you’d like to
receive a BBBC brochure, contact linda.fiore@temple.edu or visit www.temple.edu/boyer/bbbc.
As we enter a new year at the College, reflecting growth, creative endeavors and innovative opportunities for students, your vision, support and commitment continue to provide a
spotlight on Boyer’s many achievements, of which we all can be proud.
Sincerely,
Robert T. Stroker
Dean

George Abbott 1887 - 1995
The Legacy Continues
The George and Joy Abbott Center for Musical Theater
“Some day, when an actor belts out ‘You Gotta Have Heart!’ from the 1955 musical
Damn Yankees, Temple University and its new center for musical theater will benefit,
thanks to an unusual gift,” wrote The Chronicle of Higher Education. Speaking of
having heart, there is no bigger one than that belonging to Joy Abbott, widow of
“Mr. Broadway,” the incomparable George Abbott, who had an unparalleled impact
on the careers of numerous musical theater legends, including, Hal Prince, Carol
Burnett, Bob Fosse, Liza Minnelli, Gene Kelly and Shirley MacLaine.

Mrs. Abbott, a Temple alumna, has bequeathed her share of rights and
future royalties earned by theater productions authored by her late
husband to the Boyer College. The bequest, which is currently valued at
a minimum of $6 million, will serve as the lead gift in establishing the
new “George and Joy Abbott Center for Musical Theater” combining
programs at the Boyer College and the School of Communications and
Theater. The Center will draw performers, guest artists, scholars,
technicians and teachers, providing an interdisciplinary approach to
training students.
“I always wanted to ensure George’s legacy was preserved in a way that
would benefit future generations,” stated Mrs. Abbott, “and this is a way
to pay tribute to his legacy and dedication to mentoring young artists.”
The announcement was made during an October 25 reception
at Sardi’s, in the heart of New York’s theater district with luminaries
Hal Prince, Tommy Tune and Donald Saddler in attendance.
Memorabilia from Abbott’s illustrious career — including original
scripts of Pal Joey and The Boys from Syracuse; an original Hirschfeld
drawing of George Abbott, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins and
Comden & Green; Tony Awards; Abbott’s Pulitzer Prize; as well as
numerous personal letters to famous friends such as Gene Kelly and
Stanley Donen — will also be donated to the Center.
“The Abbott Center will attract some of the most accomplished professionals in the field,” said Robert T. Stroker, Dean of the Boyer College.
“This historic gift will allow us to continue Mr. Abbott’s legacy and
teach the craft of musical theater in much the same way he did throughout his extraordinary career — as a mentor to scores of young people.”
Students who graduate from the BFA program will do so with working knowledge of staging, lighting, production, performance and other
aspects of professional musical theater — taught by the best in the field.
“We are honored and privileged that Joy Abbott has designated her
alma mater as the beneficiary to Mr. Abbott’s unparalleled legacy,” said
Temple University’s President, Ann Weaver Hart. “Her unprecedented
gift to the Boyer College will permanently alter the performing arts
landscape at Temple, helping to shape future careers in musical theater
for decades to come.”
George Abbott, who was nicknamed “Mr. Broadway” for presenting
over 100 works for the Broadway stage, earned seven Tony Awards,
including a 1976 Tony for lifetime achievement. Abbott is a Pulitzer
Prize winner for the musical Fiorello. He made his Broadway debut as
a performer in 1913’s The
Misleading Lady. His debut as
a director came in the 1926
comedy Love ‘em and Leave
‘em, which he also wrote.
Abbott remained a figure
on the Broadway scene until
his death in 1995 at the age
of 107.

Alumna Spotlight
Gaynell Sherrod
EdM ‘91, EdD ‘98
When Dr. Gaynell Sherrod was 14
years old and living in upstate New
York, she knew that with 8 siblings
at home, dance lessons would be
hard to come by unless she was able
to pay for them herself. And she
did. It would end up being her good
fortune to study with a professor at
the University of Buffalo who was
offering lessons at a local community center. That woman was Dr.
Kariamu Welsh, who is now Chair
of the Department of Dance at Boyer.
Jump to the early 1990s when Sherrod was coming off an eleven-year
stint dancing with the prestigious local company, Philadanco. She was
reunited with Dr. Welsh as a master’s candidate and Future Faculty
Fellow at Temple. She then toured for two years with The Urban Bush
Women Dance Company, which took her to Brazil, Jamaica, Italy,
Austria and England. She returned to Temple and completed her EdD
in dance pedagogy in 1998.
The Gift of Opera
She was a field hockey player and coach, US Postal Service nominee for
Federal Woman of the Year and graduate student at MIT, but it is her
fond memories of Temple University that will benefit voice and opera
students preparing for careers in music.
Ann McKernan Robinson (’58) and her husband Armand I. Robinson have pledged $900,000 to create a fund for graduate scholarships
in voice and opera at the Boyer College. A separate fund has been
established in support of Temple’s women’s field hockey program. The
Ann McK. and Armand I. Robinson Opera Scholarship Fund marks the
first full graduate scholarship and the highest gift to the Department of
Voice and Opera.
“Temple is forever grateful to the Robinsons,” said Temple President
Ann Weaver Hart. “Athletics and the performing arts have always been
a source of energy, enrichment and joy for the university. To impact one
realm for generations of future Temple students is a great achievement;
to impact both is extraordinary.”
Hailing from Swedeland, PA, Robinson claims her intention to create
two separate funds in support of opera and field hockey “was a conscious
decision to fuel both passions.” Looking back on a long and successful
career, she cited the University’s founder Russell Conwell and his Acres
of Diamonds speech and thoughtfully considered what kind of legacy
she could leave behind.

On October 5, 2007, President Ann Weaver Hart announced the public phase of a $350 million multi-year capital
campaign for Temple University, culminating in December 2009, in conjunction with the University’s 125th anniversary
celebration. Branford Marsalis performed with the Temple University Jazz Band, directed by Professor Terell Stafford,
and SCAT alumnus Bob Saget emceed as a thousand friends of Temple celebrated the announcement at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Temple’s story is one of the most impressive in American higher education, and its success has
been achieved with very limited discretionary resources. The 125th Anniversary Campaign, for
which $270 million has already been raised, will result in enlarging the University’s endowment,
with a focus on increased support for students, faculty and research, as well as improving facilities and broadening ties with the larger community.
As founder Russell Conwell envisioned, Temple provides qualified students of every background
and means access to an education of remarkable quality. This campaign will ensure that mission’s success in perpetuity.
Temple’s appropriation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania meets approximately 18 percent of its revenue needs. Private support from alumni and friends is paramount if Temple is to
invest in the excellence of its programs and faculty while maintaining its affordability.
As private support for the University increases through this campaign, each new gift means
new possibilities. At the Boyer College of Music and Dance, we have raised $10.3 million of

are creating additional student scholarships, funding exciting research involving the arts, health
and learning, supporting community music and dance programs for Philadelphia school-aged children, and enabling
our facilities to expand in accordance with our needs. (See below.)
Presser Hall Expansion Project Begins
Presser Hall will soon have a new addition that will benefit Boyer students
and faculty. When Tyler School of Art opens its doors at 13th and Norris,
Presser Hall will share a spacious new entrance and atrium in addition to a
new wing that will include studios, classrooms and administrative space.
To many Boyer College music alumni, Presser Hall was “home” since
its opening in 1965. For decades,
it housed the classrooms, practice
rooms, faculty and administrative
offices and vending machines that
defined the lives of music majors.
As the College expanded, merging
with the New School of Music in
1985 and then the dance department in 2002, additional buildings
and existing space were renovated to
accommodate Boyer’s growth.
The rear of the building (Norris
Street) is under construction and will
open onto a spacious glass atrium
serving as the entrance to both Tyler and Presser Hall and shared performance, exhibition and multipurpose space.
On the west side (13th Street) an addition, with state-of-the-art classrooms, practice rooms and teaching studios on the first floor will be built
onto what is currently the front of the building. The second floor plans
include larger rehearsal space, more practice rooms and a recording studio.
6
Encore
|
In September of 2008 the atrium will be completed, and the old entrance
will be closed to allow for construction of the new wing. The addition will
open in the fall of 2009.
This new space would not be possible without contributions from our
friends and alumni. Already, as announced in our last newsletter, we have
gratefully received two major gifts
for this project. The Presser Foundation, a major source of support
for the College since its early days
at Temple University, is providing $600,000, and the Immordino
family is contributing $250,000,
for which the percussion studios in
Presser Hall will be named in the
family’s honor.
Additional naming opportunities
are available at all levels of giving,
and may be spread over a period of
five years.
We are very excited about this project, and look forward to sharing the
finished building with our alumni and friends when the work is completed.
For further information about supporting Presser Hall’s expansion, please

end up “giving back” to CMSP and Philadelphia Sinfonia — this time
as a teacher rather than a student.
“Because of my experience at CMSP — taking lessons and playing in
the orchestra under conductor Gary White — I knew that I wanted to
focus on ensemble work and orchestral music,” Danielle said.
Considering her strong musical background, Danielle’s perseverance is
hardly surprising. Her uncle is a professional guitarist, her cousin is a
percussionist and her brother plays clarinet with the Delaware National
Guard Band. Needless to say, family gatherings involve a lot of musical
activity.
“I chose Boyer because of its faculty and reputation for excellence,”
she noted. “I take what I learn from the courses and build upon that
as a student and teacher. My coursework enables me to look for new
approaches to learning and teaching.”
Danielle has raised the bar for excellence, not only for herself, but for
her students who benefit from her many artistic endeavors.

It’s Saturday Morning … Do You Know Where Your Children Are?
It’s 8:30 a.m. on a brisk November Saturday and most people are still in
their pajamas enjoying a second cup of coffee. But in Presser Hall, a dedicated team of music teachers and administrators are welcoming students
enrolled in the Community Music Scholars Program (CMSP), one of the
flagship programs of Temple University’s Music Preparatory Division.
CMSP instructors are Boyer alumni and graduate teaching assistants, as
well as music teachers in Philadelphia public schools. Students are recommended by teachers and selected based on auditions, musical ability, level
of family support and commitment to their lessons, rehearsals and the
program itself.
Program Coordinator, Melissa Douglas, has a
warm, sunny personality and doesn’t seem bothered by the early hour or the bustle of students
hurrying about the hallways. In fact, the students
themselves don’t seem to mind that they could
still be in bed or parked in front of the TV, and are
instead joking with their teachers and enjoying the
company of fellow musicians. But there’s also a lot
of serious learning taking place.
Douglas, who holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in both music
education and vocal performance, came to CMSP in 1997 after a decade
at the New England Conservatory as an academic advisor and Associate
Dean for Students.
John Jacques, a 10th grader at Central High School, is practicing a flute
duet with his teacher, Steve Wilensky. Down the hall, Tyler Tritt, an
eighth-grader at Masterman, is working on a particularly challenging
phrase with his trumpet teacher, Michael Franchetti (BM ‘01). Benjamin
Blazer (BM ‘99, MM ‘95) conducts the CMSP string ensemble and the jazz
orchestra is rehearsing a lively version of an arrangement under the direction of Jason O’Mara.
With 145 students currently enrolled in music and dance, CMSP provides
individual instrumental instruction, ensemble performance, music theory
lessons and dance classes to elementary and high school students attending
Philadelphia public schools. With an impressive 85% of the costs generously
underwritten, CMSP is seeing its highest enrollment in over a decade.
“Many parents have told me that the structure, one-on-one coaching and
ensemble performance opportunities their children receive at CMSP is a
primary factor in their level of interest in and enjoyment of music,” said
Douglas. “I’ve seen many students mature as musicians and young people
because of the personal attention and level of encouragement they receive
from our terrific teachers.”

A trumpet player rushes in a few minutes late and the other students tease
him for holding things up. He pulls
his instrument from the case, runs
a hand through his hair and strikes
a pose along with the group. Like
everything at CMSP, it’s a
team effort.
