The Tianjin Juilliard School

The Tianjin Juilliard School is a joint venture between The Juilliard School, the Tianjin Conservatory of Music (TJCM), and other Chinese partners. The idea for the school began in 2015, and it officially opened in 2020, becoming the first performing arts institution in China to offer a U.S.-accredited Master of Music degree. 

The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing arts education, providing the highest caliber of education for young performing artists from around the world for more than a century. The Tianjin Juilliard School is uniquely focused on collaborative musicianship. Juilliard’s school in China emphasizes a commitment to ensemble playing of the highest artistic level. This is the hallmark of the Juilliard experience - the programs reflect the best of educational standards, preparing you for a lifetime of creative expression, of engagement and growth as an individual and as a musician.

Studying in Tianjin offers a chance to experience a different cultural context and potentially learn Mandarin, which can be a valuable skill in the growing Chinese job market. There may also be less competition compared to Western markets, and graduates are well-positioned for a career within China's developing orchestral landscape.
