The Juilliard Orchestra has announced the performances for its 2017-18 season.
Concerts will take place in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Alice Tully Hall, David Geffen Hall, and Carnegie Hall. Tickets are free for Juilliard students, and non-Juilliard full-time students may purchase half-price tickets.
The season will begin with a performance from an orchestra of both Juilliard and Sibelius Academy members, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, on August 26 in Helsinki, Finland, followed by performances on August 28 in Stockholm, Sweden and on September 5 at Lincoln Center.
