“A dynamo who has an artistic vision and can turn it into a reality” (Margaret Lioi, CEO, Chamber Music America), Juliann Ma pursues a dream of revolutionizing world education through music. Her constant search for new, meaningful ways to communicate with audiences has led her to address global concerns by extending the language of classical music through collaborative, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary projects that she writes, directs, and produces. Her most recent initiative, SEAS (Sustainable Environment Through the Arts and Sciences), performed in collaboration with a growing, eclectic team of environmentally minded artists and scientists who bring her research-drawn stories to screen and stage, has earned her the Father Merlet and Marin Alsop Entrepreneurship Awards. A uniquely rechoreographed, live performance of SEAS's first music video and Ma's directorial debut, 'Rise, Awaken' https://youtu.be/XnPsKIL-zqQ was featured as a highlight in her solo debut in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall this past November. Ms. Ma, winner of the 2016 Pro Musicis International Award, is an avid citizen-artist who has enjoyed diverse teaching, leadership, and enterprise roles as Stanford University’s Arts Academic Theme Associate and Pre-Collegiate summer Institute’s Resident Counselor and as a Juilliard Gluck Fellow, teaching and leading collaborative teams and classes in a wide range of disciplines: interdisciplinary arts performance and film production, creative writing, jewelry-making, interior design, and Bollywood. This year, she was invited to partake in Silk Road Ensemble’s Global Musician Workshop as a multidisciplinary performer and stage manager, as well as Caroga Lake Music Festival as a Teaching Artist and Inter-Arts Symposium Speaker. Currently, she is on the music faculties of Avenues, The World School and ToneRow virtual conservatory tonerow.com/juliannma , and maintains a private studio in Manhattan. Juliann Ma completed her studies at Stanford University (B.A. Music, Honors & Distinction, minor in Creative Writing), École normale Supérieure de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot (Diplôme d’Exécution de Piano, Fulbright grant), Juilliard School (Master of Music), and Mannes, The New School for Music (Professional Studies). For her contributions to Humanities & Creative Arts, Juliann Ma was presented with the Robert M. Golden Medal at her Stanford graduation.
