Juilliard has been committed for over one hundred years to providing the highest caliber of artistic education to gifted musicians from around the world, so that they may achieve their fullest potential as artists, leaders, and global citizens. The mission of The Tianjin Juilliard School is to educate new generations of musicians who can take the educational values they will acquire and bring those values and experiences to the artistic life of China, East Asia, and the world. We not only strive to develop complete musicians, but also happy and productive young adults who will become leaders in their respective fields in the time ahead. The Tianjin Juilliard School will be the first performing arts institution in China to offer a U.S.-accredited Master of Music degree. This new campus will offer a graduate program for a Master of Music degree from Juilliard in orchestral studies, chamber music, or collaborative piano; a pre-college program for students ages 8-18; an instrumental training program; adult education; and public performances. The 350,000 square-foot building is designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the same firm responsible for the 2009 expansion of Juilliard’s iconic New York home. The Tianjin Juilliard School will be a center for performance, practice, research, and interactive exhibitions, with communal spaces that are designed to welcome the public into the creative process and performance of music.
