The scholarship — a $15,000 tuition scholarship awarded to one financial disadvantaged young adult — was founded to honor William J. Bullis, an aspiring young chef and a senior attending Mills High School, who overcame his physical disability to discover his passion for cooking. He was killed in the San Bruno natural gas pipeline explosion and fire in 2010. “Together, we are keeping his dream alive by helping others attain their culinary dreams,” wrote Andy Birsh, president of The Friends of the French Culinary Institute, in an email. He said the institute was founded in 1990 as a nonprofit arm of The International Culinary Center, originally named French Culinary Institute. A 501(c)3 organization (Tax I.D. #: 13-3518598), the group raises money and provides scholarships to students at The International Culinary Center in New York and California, he said.

The single-movement score was inspired by a report in a French science magazine tracing the discovery of the first stars — “the birth of light.” Connesson starts with two themes — a gentle brass chorale and an insinuating theme for violas based on an Indian raga — then conjoins them until the entire orchestra is engaged. Under Deneve’s direction, the 20-minute score came across in a shimmering, light-refracting performance, with essential contributions from principal violist Jonathan Vinocour and associate principal horn Nicole Cash.

Cat Lair: There are 22 cats, including a handful of kittens, waiting for you at FAAS. Mr. Black, a distinguished 11-year-old former alley cat now a gentleman seeking inside lodging, is still waiting to be adopted. He’s a sweet old man. We are also not sure why Yuki is still here. She is a 4-year-old silver-and-cream Siamese, a real beauty. Love Conquers Allergies: One kitty no longer waiting for a home is Kristy, a 9-year-old gray-and-orange tabby. Kristy was surrendered to FAAS when her owner became allergic to her. But the surrender didn’t stick. The family could not bear to live without sweet Kristy, no matter what. So last weekend they came back and readopted her. Dad is now taking allergy shots.
