Each year The Juilliard School hosts a weeklong seminar to foster the artistic growth of pre-formed, pre-professional string quartets. Through intensive coaching and mentoring with members of the Juilliard String Quartet, as well as interaction with other participating quartets, students are able to refine their artistry in a stimulating artistic environment.
The 2020 Juilliard String Quartet Seminar will take place from Monday, May 18 through Friday, May 22. Participating quartets will arrive on Sunday, May 17; final performances will take place on Friday, May 22. Participating quartets may not have any other obligations during the seminar.
Each quartet will receive two daily coachings with members of the Juilliard String Quartet, have a rehearsal studio, and perform in a public concert at Juilliard.
Two works of contrasting styles will be studied. It is expected that the quartet will have performed these works in a public concert prior to arrival at Juilliard.
