See artistic risk-taking in action as Juilliard presents an informal showing of works created during the Juilliard Risk Lab Residency. Over the course of a week at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, three student projects—each selected for its innovative and interdisciplinary collaboration—have taken shape in a boundary-pushing creative space.

Guided by a team of mentors, including vocal arts faculty member John Matsumoto Giampietro, Arnhold Creative Associate Caili Quan, and Arnhold Creative Associate at Large and chamber music faculty member Nadia Sirota, student creators Derek Jackson (Group 56, drama), Yuxuan Lin (MM ’27, composition), and bassist Daniel Song (BM ’27, jazz studies) have spent five days developing original performance pieces.

Join us for an exclusive first look at their new work.
