The Juilliard School

If you are looking for some outstanding entertainment for free or a small price, it is well-​worth checking out the schedule of events. The students at Juilliard are selected for their talent and it is obvious. It is possible to see musical concerts, plays, dance performances etc. It is where students are able to have the experience of performing for an audience. You can experience a master class where professors are teaching. There are sometimes competitions, faculty performances or concerts, and other events. You can check out the event schedule at this website:
. Tickets can go quickly but they allow you to wait at the school outside the event venue in case there are extra seats (there usually are) on the day of the event. It is safest to note the release date for tickets for something you are really interested in though.

Want to see free Juilliard student concerts? Or you have a guest out of town that appreciates arts and you want to show them something different and artistic? You can always check their calendar events and book accordingly. Whether you are on a budget or not there are plenty of choices for every kind.
We saw a free concert on Friday 02/​13/​2015 by some of the students and I was really amazed. The performance took place at the Paul Recital Hall. Check out also their ChamberFest event, it’s a week of music put on by the students. Tickets are reserved online, all you have to do is make an account but everything is free. Best part is that the site tells you what to expect on the day of the event, like who’s playing what. I recommend seeing ChamberFest earlier in the week.

I recommend seeing ChamberFest earlier in the week. It was my first time this year and unfortunately I found the last day of performances to be a little lacking than previous ones.

Since my daughter is an alumnus here, I better review it! We saw many great shows from theater to opera to dance and all were amazing. If you’re in the city, and want to see a show, go see what they have playing. You won’t be disappointed.

Who knew Juilliard students can be hired for events. I didn’t until my wedding!
I called their Office of Career Services and hired a violinist and cellist for the
ceremony and cocktail hour. It was so classy and beautiful. Eru and Mina were
very talented and created the absolute best atmosphere for us and our guests on
our wedding day.

As a customer of it’s educational facility, I’d give it 2 stars. As a patron of it’s performance venues and productions, probably 4. As an overall experience, a solid 3 would be the average but I’m still giving it just a 2 just from my gut.
In this school, you don’t really learn a whole Hell of a lot about music that you didn’t already know before coming here. If you are on scholarship and have been accepted into the studio of a masterful teacher, you will learn much about how to play your given instrument. In that respect, it was great for me. If you’re paying out of pocket for your education here and manage to get stuck with one of the less able faculty members however (the gamut of quality in that regard here is immense), you’re pretty much screwed. I saw that happening a lot. That said, anything besides ensembles and your applied lessons with your major teacher are basically stumbling blocks thrown in your way to see if you can still become an accomplished musician despite having all that useless «busy work» placed in front of you.
As a patron of the performances this school offers though, you’ll find some of the best inexpensive (and often free) culture that Western Music has to offer in NYC. The free student recitals given by the abundantly talented class body of Juilliard occur almost daily with many multiple performances taking place on the same day. The quality of the productions by both the Juilliard Orchestra and Juilliard Opera Theater all are virtually unrivaled within the city of New York. The faculty concerts also are world class.
Besides formal music, the school also offers wonderful productions of dance, drama and jazz too.
I will hold my tongue however on the attitude within the school that permeates the student body and the Soviet style hierarchy of the school’s abhorrently oppressive administration (oops! too late!).
In conclusion, amazing performance outlet and also a good educational institution IF you can play the game craftily while preserving your creative soul from ruination while there. 2 stars.

I count myself lucky to have seen award-​winning conductor David Afkham’s NYC debut at Juilliard October 10^th. I loved his expressive and powerful style and his choice of Romantic-​era music – a Brahms piano concerto and a Tchaikovsky symphony. The fresh enthusiasm of the young Juilliard orchestra glowed over the audience. Nobody sneezed and nobody snored. This performance was available for live stream viewing at Juilliard’s website.

This review mostly pertains to Juilliard’s facilities, which have improved dramatically since I graduated. More practice rooms, classrooms and dance studios, like the Glorya Kaufman Dance Studio pictured here, which offers a wall of windows overlooking Broadway at Lincoln Center. Juilliard is arguably one of the premier conservatories in the world, and its nice to see them improving the school’s facilities.

I have learned more in one semester here than I have in 4 years of undergrad.
I’m giving it 4 stars because one of my professors was waaay tooo weird.

Better for Dance than Music.
Study with and take private lessons from the top mentors around the world and you will go further. Nevertheless, top quality selection.
But– Where’s the job when you get out? Especially as a drummer in the jazz program. Oh– thats right– there is none. And in what class will they teach you about the music industry? None. The music industry is tanking and the paradigm is shifting. Prospective students– I highly recommend you consider all these factors and much much more before applying.

So glad to find the free Mendelsshon performance at Paul Hall. The school is fantastic! Love their lobby where you can chill and use the internet while waiting for the show to start. It has a great view of the Lincoln Center.

I came here for a free opera. I had never been to an opera before so it was kind of exciting. The theater was really cool in a mid-​century modern, wood paneling sort of way. We saw The Tender Land which was an American opera in English. I liked the story but there were some slow parts. The end was relatively abrupt compared to the rest of the story and it was also predictable. Overall it was a fun and unique experience and I would definitely be up for checking out another performance when back in New York.

A school for the musically gifted, Juilliard also has mandatory shows by each one of their aspiring students, most of them free! Check out the schedule (most shows are only during the academic year) on the website for the school.

Good free performances of plays and musical events.
