New York, July 17, 2024 — Juilliard announces full programming for its 2024-25 season, with more than 800 live music, dance, and drama performances at the school and beyond. The 2024-25 academic year and performance season offer a wealth of new music, world premieres, and new festivals that bring students, guest artists, and artistic leaders together from different disciplines. From collaborations to international tours, the range of curricular and performance opportunities is an essential and unique component of the Juilliard experience.
Student performances form a significant part of Juilliard’s curriculum, and the 2024-25 season offerings exemplify how Juilliard leads the way and pushes artistic boundaries. A cornerstone of this season is a focus on conversations, workshops, master classes, and more that highlight the cultural and social importance of the arts. Performances will celebrate tradition through major anniversaries and seminal works of historic artists, and the season will feature new works by innovative composers, playwrights, directors, and choreographers.
At the top of the school year, Juilliard’s new Fall Festival models the school’s collaborative offerings and sets the stage for the season to come. In addition to the festival, the upcoming season’s continued focus on interdisciplinary work prepares students to be the next generation of performing arts leaders through Juilliard’s Creative Enterprise programs, The New Series, and new and growing collaborations between departments and peer organizations.
“Juilliard’s first-ever Fall Festival will set the tone for the year with a series of vibrant, boundary-pushing performances every night for 10 nights throughout Juilliard and Lincoln Center,” said President Woetzel. “As we welcome a new class, we reinforce and expand our commitment to matching the connectivity, collaboration, and limitless creativity possible at Juilliard with ever more access and affordability for talented students from all around the world.”
Tickets to all 2024-25 season events go on sale to the public on August 29; members receive presales access. All tickets, except benefits and fundraisers, are $50 or under, and most events are free.
