Music institute hits right note

Tianjin Juilliard School on track as resident faculty appointments completed, Chen Nan reports.

As he stepped down as the president of the Juilliard School, the New York-based performing arts conservatory, in June, Joseph Polisi, the school's sixth and longest-serving president, has fulfilled his vision of the school's global expansion-the Tianjin Juilliard School.

On Nov 15, the Juilliard School in New York announced the resident faculty for the Tianjin Juilliard School and that applications for the pre-college program for musicians aged 8 to 18 are now open.

The school's graduate studies programs, which offer US-accredited full-time master's degrees in orchestral performance, chamber-music performance and collaborative piano, will launch in fall 2020, coinciding with the official opening of the new building.

In addition, the school will offer an instrument-training program, adult education and public performances.
