James Conlon - Pedagogy

Pedagogy

Conlon recently completed a two-year artist residency with his alma mater, The Juilliard School. During the residency, Conlon worked with the school's young artists in its three divisions – dance, drama, music – in an educational project meant to promote growth and historical curiosity in students and audience members alike. The cross-genre project consisted of performances, symposia, master classes, and coaching. In addition to study and performance of the lesser-known repertoire of composers affected by the rise of Nazism and the events of World War II, of which he is an ardent champion, Mr. Conlon will moderate symposia and speak about the role of the artist in current times.
