BACKGROUND
Founded in 1905, The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing arts education. The school’s mission is to provide the highest caliber of artistic education for gifted musicians, dancers, and actors from around the world so that they may achieve their fullest potential as artists, leaders, and global citizens. Located at Lincoln Center in New York City, Juilliard offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in dance, drama (acting and playwriting), and music (classical, jazz, historical performance, and vocal arts). More than 800 artists from 42 states and 50 countries and regions are enrolled in Juilliard’s College Division, where they appear in more than 700 annual performances in the school’s five theaters; at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully and David Geffen halls, and Carnegie Hall; as well as at other local, national and global venues. The continuum of learning at Juilliard also includes nearly 400 students from elementary through high school enrolled in the Preparatory Division, including its tuition-free Music Advancement Program (MAP). More than 1,200 students are enrolled in Juilliard Extension, the flagship continuing education program taught both in person and remotely by a dedicated faculty of performers, creators, and scholars. Beyond its New York campus, Juilliard is defining new directions in performing arts education for a range of learners and enthusiasts through a global K-12 educational curricula and preparatory and graduate studies at The Tianjin Juilliard School in China. Damian Woetzel is the seventh president of The Juilliard School, where he is championing excellence and prioritizing affordability and access to the highest level of artistic education by leading a historic campaign to make the world’s leading conservatory tuition-free. Since beginning his tenure in July 2018, Woetzel has brought on a new generation of artistic leadership, launched major initiatives cultivating interdisciplinary creativity, opened the school’s first branch campus located in Tianjin, China, and expanded the school’s footprint with Juilliard Station which provides free public performances as Lincoln Center’s newest venue. One of the foremost ballet dancers of his time, Woetzel retired in 2008 from a 20-year career as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet and as a dancer on the international stage. Since leaving performance, Woetzel has taken on multiple roles in arts leadership, including artistic director of the Vail Dance Festival since 2007, and director of Aspen Institute Arts Program from 2011 to 2018. Woetzel has created projects with a wide range of artists, including numerous initiatives with frequent collaborator Yo-Yo Ma. He holds a master’s in public administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard Law School. MISSION-DRIVEN CAMPAIGN
