Participation in chamber music is an essential element of every student’s education in all three majors. Chamber music ensembles perform each semester in public concerts, master classes, and workshops with fellow students, resident faculty, and visiting artists.

The proliferation of new concert venues in China has created a high demand for skilled performers. To that end, Instrumental and Chamber Music Studies majors at the school have the opportunity to perform in major halls throughout China. The school, together with its extensive network, prepares students to pursue performing and teaching opportunities, as well as connect chamber music groups with presenters who can help launch their careers.

Existing string quartets and piano trios may apply for the Tianjin Juilliard Chamber Music Fellowship Program. One fellowship ensemble will enroll every year in the two-year Master of Music degree program. As a member of the Tianjin Juilliard Fellowship ensemble, you will receive  

• full-tuition scholarship 
• on-campus housing  
• professional development grant 
• opportunity to participate in the annual Juilliard String Quartet Seminar in New York 

This prestigious fellowship nurtures chamber music ensembles at a critical point in their educational, musical, and professional development, allowing the members to focus on their study and craft with financial and professional support.
