BEIJING, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, on Tuesday sent a letter of
congratulations on the inauguration of Tianjin Juilliard School (TJS), which
has been jointly set up by the Tianjin Conservatory of Music and New York's
Juilliard School.
Thanks to the joint efforts of China and the United States, the Tianjin
Conservatory of Music and the Juilliard School have carried out high-level art
cooperation in running the school, creating a new platform for promoting
cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, Peng said.
Noting that art is a bridge that "crosses national boundaries and connects
people," she said that strengthening educational cooperation between China and
the United States is conducive to nurturing more talents, deepening cultural
exchanges and promoting art and friendship.
She called on the two sides to carry out extensive cultural and
people-to-people exchanges, and promote mutual understanding between the two
peoples, so as to inject impetus into the friendship between the Chinese and
the American people.
The TJS campus was inaugurated on Tuesday. Designed by American
interdisciplinary design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the campus covers
about 45,000 square meters along the Haihe River in Tianjin.
As a branch of the Juilliard School, TJS is the first performing arts
institution in China to confer a U.S.-accredited Master of Music degree,
according to the school's official website. Founded in 1905, the Juilliard
School is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious educational
institutions in drama, music and dance.
At TJS, students are given ample opportunities to take part in solo, chamber
and orchestral concerts. The school has three state-of-the-art performance
venues, which form the cornerstones of the new campus. Through performances in
the concert hall, recital hall and black box theater, students can refine their
performance skills and connect with audiences through music.
Cui Tiankai, former Chinese ambassador to the United States, and Tian Xuejun,
vice education minister, also attended the inauguration ceremony, where Joseph
W. Polisi, honorary dean of TJS, was titled "Honorary Citizen of Tianjin."
