WHAT IS IT?
A world music ensemble program piloted at The Juilliard School, Global Perspectives explores the diverse artistic traditions of the world through interactive instruction, creative experimentation, and collaborative performance with distinguished guest artists. Participants work in intensive small ensembles as well as open workshop formats led by distinguished guest artists.
WHY NOW?
The modern interconnected world invites artists into the opportunity to communicate through artistic multilingualism. By enhancing artistic interpretation and technique with the relevant skills of improvisation, aural learning, and rapid arrangement, Global Perspectives allows performing artists to approach global citizenship through a language with which they are intimately familiar, providing accessible pathways to personal growth and understanding.
WHO IS INVOLVED?
Designed for artists with a curiosity to explore new artistic styles, Global Perspectives' recent events have included ensemble intensives, open workshops, and performances at The Juilliard School for students, alumni, and faculty. Past guest artists have included acclaimed multi-style cellist Mike Block and classical Indian dancer Preeti Vasudevan.
