Juilliard School
Juilliard School, a private coeducational institution at Lincoln Center in New York City. It offers professional training and education in music, drama, and dance. In 1924 the Juilliard Musical Foundation, established by Augustus D. Juilliard (1836–1919), opened the Juilliard Graduate School. Two years later the foundation took over the Institute of Musical Art that had been founded by Frank Damrosch and James Loeb in 1905. The two schools were combined as the Juilliard School of Music in 1946. It became the Juilliard School in 1968.
