Last November, The Tianjin Juilliard School and Tianjin Grand Theatre jointly staged the first Tianjin Chamber Music Festival and it has become an annual fixture in the local arts scene. The inaugural festival was conceived with the goal of bringing chamber music to the forefront of classical music, and fostering international exchange and education through the participation of music students from China and many other countries. The weeklong festival was an instant success, bringing in thousands of concertgoers who came to the Tianjin Grand Theatre to watch the Tianjin Juilliard Ensemble, the Juilliard String Quartet, and many outstanding young musicians share this rich tradition of chamber music making at its finest.

This year’s Tianjin Chamber Music Festival will be a highly memorable one. In a year of uncertainty and highly unusual times, chamber music will reign and come to life through concerts taking place from November 8 –18. Over the course of 11 days, Tianjin Juilliard students, resident faculty and guest artists will dive deep into the extraordinary works of Mozart, Mendelssohn, Ravel, Beethoven, Brahms, as well as contemporary works by Gerald Cohen, Joan Tower, and Raymond Eugene Premru.

The Tianjin Juilliard School’s flagship ensemble, Tianjin Juilliard Ensemble, will once again come together to take the helm for this exciting season. Renowned guest artists include bass-baritone Shenyang and guzheng player Chang Jing. For the Tianjin Juilliard students participating in the festival, it is an incredible experience as they immerse themselves in intense work with dedication. Intensive coaching from faculty and guest artists help them grow musically as they prepare for these performances over a short period of time.
