Juilliard President Joseph Polisi notes that “the transforming role of Juilliard is to help talented students harness their dedication to become communicative artists, imbued with passion and understanding to reach within themselves to affect and move audiences. It is this process that prepares our students for a life in the arts.” The Korea Society is proud to present its second season of Julliard@TKS, with an eye to Korea, as its students represent the largest single international contingent enrolled at Juilliard.
