About the Juilliard Pre-College Division

One of the foremost music preparatory programs in the world, the Juilliard Pre-College Division educates today’s most promising young artists. Established in 1916 as the Preparatory Center, the Pre-College Division at Juilliard offers a complete curriculum of music instruction for highly gifted children up to age 18. Students attend Juilliard every Saturday for 30 weeks during the school year for an individualized course of instruction carefully designed to meet their particular needs. The selective program includes instruction in a chosen major, academic study of music, and solo and ensemble performances. Recognizing the importance of early development and discipline in the music field, the program provides a caring, collaborative, and challenging atmosphere where artistic gifts and technical skills can flourish.

Pre-College Division

The Juilliard Pre-College Symphony is one of the Pre-College Division’s three age-based orchestras. With an average age of just over 15, the Symphony rehearses weekly and presents three concerts each season. As a leading youth orchestra training program, the division strives to prepare its members for the rigorous demands and expectations of conservatory and college orchestral programs by offering workshops and readings led by renowned guest conductors and prominent professional orchestral musicians. The Pre-College orchestras draw upon the significant resource of the College Division’s students by employing them as mentors to work alongside the Pre-College students. The repertoire is guided by a progressive curriculum beginning with the youngest group, the String Ensemble, and continuing through the Symphony and Orchestra, ensuring that all students have exposure to works from varied composers, musical styles and genres. Every orchestra concert features a concerto, providing an important opportunity to a student soloist, many of whom go on to important careers. Among them are Han-Na Chang, Pamela Frank, Joseph Lin, Yo-Yo Ma, Jon Manasse, Roberto Minczuk, Gil Shaham, Conrad Tao, and Joyce Yang. This season, the Pre-College Symphony is led by Adam Glaser and George Stelluto. Past conductors have included James Conlon, Alan Gilbert, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Itzhak Perlman, Leonard Slatkin, and Joshua Weilerstein.
