Sneak Peek: David Serkin Ludwig

Jo Reed: And when you're thinking ahead, say the next five years, what's your vision for Juilliard over that time?

David Serkin Ludwig: Well, a lot of it is to continue doing what we're doing, with even more commitment, with even more ardor. So, thinking about who is here, who is teaching here, what our community looks like in the diversity of that community. Thinking about creative enterprise as we call it, this kind of intellectual and artistic curiosity, how can we respond to what's happening in the world in an inventive, imaginative way, In terms of five years in the future, to think really globally about where are people making music in the world, and how can we come to them is very, very important. To continue our commitment to new music and contemporary music because this is a living art form, and if we want to think more inclusively we need to think about living composers, and American music as well, and maybe kind of curb some of the Europhilia that we've had in classical music to be much more inclusive, and expand that base.
