[NEW YORK, July 16, 2025]—Juilliard is pleased to announce its 2025-26 season—a bold testament to the school’s spirit of innovation, artistic excellence, and boundless creativity. Featuring an extraordinary array of world premiere commissions and fresh interpretations of iconic works, the season showcases the enormous possibility of a future that fuses modern advancements with a rich artistic legacy, crafting shared human experiences that only the performing arts can offer, as brought to life by Juilliard students.

Beginning with the second annual Juilliard Fall Festival and continuing throughout the season, numerous cross-genre collaborations deepen the school’s commitment to interdisciplinary work through initiatives such as Juilliard’s Creative Enterprise programs, including The New Series, and a growing roster of work across departments and with peer institutions—preparing students to lead the next generation of performing arts innovation. These experiences, taking place on Juilliard’s campus, at venues across New York City, and beyond, strengthen the school’s robust curriculum, offering students meaningful opportunities for creative exploration alongside today’s leading artists.

“At Juilliard, we believe in the power of the performing arts to bring us together, to create moments of shared humanity. This season, our artists are not only engaging with the tools of our technological age; they are offering an antidote to its isolations. Through extraordinary performances, they invite us to feel, to reflect, and to be transported,” said Juilliard President Damian Woetzel. “As we work toward becoming a tuition-free institution, we reaffirm our belief that this kind of expression—this capacity to connect and inspire—must be accessible to the most talented young artists, regardless of financial background. This is how we ensure that the future of the arts remains vibrant, inclusive, and profoundly moving.”

To mark the 200th anniversary of the first full Italian opera staged in the United States (The Barber of Seville in New York City), Juilliard’s Ellen and James S. Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts in collaboration with Columbia University will hold a series of events on October 5, offering a symposium, a special tour of the Juilliard library and archives, and a performance celebrating the first season of Italian opera in the U.S. in 1825-26. 

Vocal arts students will also participate in the annual New York Festival of Song (NYFOS) at Juilliard; Juilliard Songfest; Liederabend recital series; the annual Vocal Arts Honors Recital; collaborations with Historical Performance and the Juilliard Orchestra; and master classes with world-renowned guest artists. Vocal Arts will also present tenor and alum Miles Mykkanen in the Alice Tully Vocal Recital at Weill Recital Hall in January. 

Under the direction of Edward Bilous, the Center for Creative Technology continues to explore the emergence of transdisciplinary art forms through collaborations with performers, new media artists, and creative technologists in the coming year. The second annual Future Stages Festival featuring performances exhibiting innovative applications of technology in the performing arts, takes place March 19-28, 2026. This edition will feature Auras and Emanations, a concert of multimedia works composed and created by Juilliard students and alumni using emerging technologies. The festival continues with Meshworks, a program of new transdisciplinary works that explore the evolving space between visual and performing arts in real-time collaboration between a global community of creators and performers who are interlinked using emerging technologies. The Future Stages Festival will also present Art of the Score, an evening of short films scored by Juilliard composers and directed by an international roster of directors.

Juilliard’s robust chamber music offerings next season include the annual winter ChamberFest in January with seven concerts over five days; the first-year undergraduate survey of string quartets by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven; and master classes with artists from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center featuring ensembles from Juilliard’s Honors chamber music program. More than 70 concerts through Chamber Music Sundays and Wednesdays at One offer various performance opportunities for students, as do the chamber music seminars by the Juilliard String Quartet, American Brass Quintet, MXE, Improvised Chamber Music, Sparking Change Through Chamber Music, Chamber Music with Fortepiano, and New Horizons in Chamber Music Exploration. Recitals by the Juilliard String Quartet and the American Brass Quintet are also featured. In May, the prizewinning graduate resident string quartet, the Katarina String Quartet, will perform at the annual Lisa Arnhold Memorial Recital in Weill Recital Hall.

The Historical Performance program provides a two-year intensive graduate program for period-instrument musicians specializing in music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Juilliard415—the school’s period-instrument ensemble—partners with departments across Juilliard for a variety of presentations, beginning with Crossing the Alps: How the Italian Baroque Traveled North, a concert of music from Italy as part of the Fall Festival led by guest director and oboe virtuoso Alfredo Bernardini. Nicholas McGegan returns to Juilliard in the fall to lead Handel’s oratorio, Jephtha; and Juilliard415 rounds out the semester with a holiday program in December directed by Pre-College alum violinist Shunske Sato. This program is a co-production with Music Before 1800 and the Gotham Early Music Scene NY and takes place at Corpus Christi Church with singers from Juilliard’s Vocal Arts program.

In February, the ensemble partners with Canada’s Tafelmusik for performances at Alice Tully Hall, in Toronto, and in Boston, directed by Historical Performance’s artistic director Robert Mealy and featuring professional Baroque dancers. Earth Month celebrations in April will feature Juilliard415 and Juilliard dancers in a program inspired by the elements and featuring the premiere of newly choreographed works at Carnegie Hall’s Juilliard at Zankel Hall, directed by violinist Leila Schayegh. Historical Performance again partners with Yale Schola Cantorum to round out the season with performances of Haydn’s Creation in New Haven and at Alice Tully Hall.

In April, alumni from Juilliard415 return to Bolivia, where they previously traveled in 2018, 2022, and 2024, to represent the U.S. in the International Festival of Renaissance and American Baroque Music—Misiones de Chiquitos—with a program that explores the intersections of global and local Baroque music from the time that Jesuit missionaries brought the music of Corelli, Vivaldi, Locatelli, and others to Chiquitos, in southeastern Bolivia.

Juilliard Jazz, under the direction of Wynton Marsalis and Aaron Flagg, features a curriculum focused on presenting jazz from across the continuum. The season programming spans from American early big band styles, swing, and blues, to Latin, new jazz works, and more. The Juilliard Jazz Orchestra offers seven performances throughout the season as it looks back on 1925, a pivotal year in jazz history. From seminal recordings by Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to the birth of Oscar Peterson, Jimmy Scott, and B.B. King, 1925 was a landmark year for jazz, and Juilliard Jazz honors this legacy in performances throughout the season.

After launching its season at the Fall Festival with a Juilliard Jazz Orchestra concert celebrating the first foray into big band and swing, honoring leaders Fletcher Henderson, Jimmie Lunceford, and Carline Ray, the orchestra continues to examine the threads of Afro-Cuban music and composers. Contemporary big band composers are spotlighted as well, and a special presentation of Duke Ellington’s Night Creature in collaboration with Juilliard dancers takes center stage. The orchestra also dives into the diverse styles of Sun Ra Arkestra and Latin jazz works.

Juilliard Jazz small ensemble concerts explore blues singers like Bessie Smith and her musical descendants; Louis Armstrong and his New Orleans–style combos; Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams; jazz vocalists Andy Bey, Jimmy Scott, and Mel Tormé; and music written by Juilliard Jazz alumni. A focus on Louis Armstrong and the Blues aligns with the America @ 250 commemorative events taking place around the nation. Concerts take place at Juilliard, Alice Tully Hall, Blue Note Jazz Club, and Dizzy’s Club.

Dance
Juilliard Dance is renowned for building strong foundations in ballet, modern, and contemporary techniques in its student dancers both in the classroom and onstage. Under the leadership of Melissa Toogood, who joins the division this year, Juilliard’s dance curriculum provides students with the opportunity to work with faculty, guest teachers, and boundary-pushing choreographers who operate at the highest level on international stages. Annual performances include Choreographers and Composers, New Dances, Spring Dances, Senior Production, Choreographic Honors, Senior Graduation Concert, and interdisciplinary collaborations across the school and alongside peer organizations. Together, these opportunities prepare students to enter today’s world of professional dance.

This season, Juilliard Dance collaborates with Studio Wayne McGregor and the Rambert School in London throughout the year. Studio Wayne McGregor, a collaborative network of creatives driven to expand the reach of British choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor, visits to the school to choreograph a new piece for the graduating class in New Dances. In March, students from the Rambert School along with Studio Wayne McGregor visit Juilliard to work with the graduating class. This creative process will culminate in May, when Juilliard dancers travel to London to join the Rambert School for an intensive rehearsal period with Wayne McGregor to premiere a full-length piece to public audiences in London.

The division’s annual New Dances, a highlight of Juilliard Dance’s performance program each year, invites four active choreographers to Juilliard to work with each class of dancers at the school and premiere new works. Taking place December 10-14, New Dances: Edition 2025 features world premieres by Gianna Reisen, alum Takehiro Ueyama, alum My’Kal Stromile, and Studio Wayne McGregor. Reisen, a choreographer and movement director who has choreographed for New York City Ballet, Los Angeles Dance Project, School of American Ballet, and Carolina Ballet, stages a work for the first-year class. Ueyama, who returned to Juilliard to choreograph for New Dances in 2013, creates a work for the second-year class that builds on his work bridging his upbringing between Japan and the U.S. Stromile, a dancer and choreographer who graduated from Juilliard in 2018 and has choreographed for Opera National de Paris and Boston Ballet, returns to the school to stage a work with the third-year class. Studio Wayne McGregor collaborates with the graduating class of dancers to present a new work as part of both New Dances and Juilliard Dance’s collaboration with the Rambert School.

Spring Dances, presented March 25-28 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, features a program rich with foundational modern dance works by distinguished choreographers. The repertoire comprises Psalm by former Juilliard faculty member José Limón and performed by first-year dancers with live music; Martha Graham’s Diversion of Angels set to music by Norman Dello Joio to be played live by the Juilliard Orchestra and performed by second- and third-year dancers; Pond Way by Merce Cunningham with decor by Roy Lichtenstein, performed by second- and third-year dancers; and  Alvin Ailey’s Night Creature, set to music by Duke Ellington played live by musicians from the Juilliard Jazz Orchestra, performed by the graduating class.  

Drama
Juilliard Drama, led by Richard Rodgers dean and director Evan Yionoulis, presents eight fully produced productions annually. These performances give third- and fourth-year drama students the opportunity to take to the stage, building on their intensive training with renowned faculty. Six of these productions are open to public audiences. In addition, fourth-year students accrue practical on-camera experience as actors in short films written for them by alumni from Juilliard’s Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program and brought to the screen by professional directors and crews.

Fourth-year plays include nut by debbie tucker green (October 2-5); Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, translated by Rolf Fjelde(November 7-10); Zinnie Harris’ This Restless House, Part One: Agamemnon's Return (December 11-16); and Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (February 19-22). In addition, students participate in a variety of rehearsal projects throughout the year.

Preparatory Division
Under the leadership of dean and director Weston Sprott, the Preparatory Division offers two Saturday music programs for students ages 8 to 18: Juilliard Pre-College, a program for advanced young musicians from countries around the world, and the Music Advancement Program (MAP), a tuition-free program that creates pathways and increases access to classical music education for intermediate to advanced young musicians from New York City and the tristate area. Anthony McGill serves as MAP’s artistic director.

Pre-College Orchestra and Pre-College Symphony each present three concerts next season, led by music director Adam Glaser, the Metropolitan Opera’s principal guest conductor Daniele Rustioni, and Opera Theater of St. Louis principal conductor Daniela Candillari. Pre-College String Orchestra gives one concert per semester, led this season by Nico-Olarte Hayes, in addition to the Percussion Ensemble; Youth and High School Choruses; Opera Scenes; composers concerts; and chamber music recitals.

MAP students perform in several instrumental and choral ensemble performances. In December, the Wind Ensemble, String Ensemble, and Orchestra give their fall performances in Peter Jay Sharp Theater. The 100-voice MAP Chorus performs twice at St. Paul & St. Andrew United Methodist Church, with the spring concert featuring the world premiere of a commissioned work by MAP composer in residence Jaime Lozano. Also in the spring, the MAP Composers’ Showcase premieres work by MAP’s composition students. In May, the Wind Ensemble, String Ensemble, and Orchestra return to Alice Tully Hall in a program conducted by Catherine Birke and Jonathan Villegas, MAP’s newly appointed Wind Ensemble conductor.

In addition to the above events, student recitals, Extension division showcases, and more are added throughout the year on the Juilliard performance calendar at juilliard.edu/calendar. The online performance calendar always has the latest schedule updates for both in-person and livestreamed performances.

In February, faculty from Juilliard’s campus in Tianjin, China, will perform alongside faculty from the New York campus as a part of the Daniel Saidenberg Faculty Recital series. Tianjin Juilliard will announce its 2025-26 season at the end of July. Information about Tianjin Juilliard’s performances will be available at tianjinjuilliard.edu.cn.
