Juilliard 茱莉亚音乐学院
The Juilliard School
155 W 65th St / 60 Lincoln Center Plaza
This private performing arts school was founded in 1905 in New York when US didn’t have a decent music school and kids generally went to Europe to study. Upon his death in 1919, the textile merchant Augustus Juilliard (1836-1919) left a large bequest for the school. Today (2022) it has about 850 college students and 290 pre-college kids in dance, drama and music, under president Damian Woetzel.
It has five primary performance halls:
- the Peter Jay Sharp Theater
- Paul Recital Hall
- Morse Recital Hall
- Rosemary and Meredith Willson Theater
- Alice Tully Hall
We go there often for the recitals and sometimes chamber music, mostly held at Paul Hall and Morse Hall.
Come to think, the two most famous musicians from Juilliard were Miles Davis (1926-91) of jazz and Jordan Rudess (1956-) of Dream Theater fame. Both didn’t graduate, and both made their careers with music other than classical.
