ARRAY x Juilliard
Founded in 1905, The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing arts education. The school’s mission is to provide the highest caliber of artistic education for gifted musicians, dancers, and actors, composers, choreographers, and playwrights from around the world so that they may achieve their fullest potential as artists, leaders, and global citizens.
Founded in 2011 by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, ARRAY is a multi-platform arts and social impact collective dedicated to narrative change. The organization catalyzes its work through a quartet of mission-driven entities: the film distribution arm ARRAY Releasing, the content company ARRAY Filmworks, the programming and production hub ARRAY Creative Campus, and the non-profit group ARRAY Alliance.

ARRAY x Juilliard
Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning composer and Juilliard alum Kris Bowers curates a one-night-only program as part of the inaugural California Festival, a two-week celebration of new music. The ARRAY x Juilliard program spotlights music that has inspired Bowers and will include a preview of his score from the new film Origin, his most recent collaboration with filmmaker Ava DuVernay. During the program, Bowers will discuss his artistic journey and creative process with Nadia Sirota, Juilliard faculty, Arnhold Creative Associate at Large, and alum, as he joins Juilliard string and jazz musicians in performance.
