The Juilliard School's master classes:

The Juilliard School opens its doors for a special master class series, featuring Juilliard’s vocal arts, historical performance, and instrumental students. The chance to work with seasoned, world-renowned artists is one of the innumerable benefits of being a Juilliard student. In addition to studying with members of Juilliard’s own celebrated faculty, their students reap the benefits of the wisdom and professional experience of visiting artists like mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, pianist Murray Perahia, violinist Christian Tetzlaff, conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy, jazz saxophonist Benny Golson, early-music expert William Christie, and many others who come to the school each year to give master classes.
