Lioi, CEO, Chamber Music America “Imaginative, charming, brilliant” Jerome Lowenthal, pianist-legend & faculty, The Juilliard School 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. For her contributions to Humanities & Creative Arts, Juliann Ma was presented with the Robert M. Golden Medal at her Stanford graduation. 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. 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.com, and maintains a private studio in Manhattan.

Press and Reviews Originally published by Rorianne Schrade for New York Concert Review; New York, NY A noteworthy recital debut occurred last Thursday, that of excellent pianist Juliann Ma, under the auspices of the Pro Musicis organization. Pro Musicis, founded in 1965, has for decades had a track record of presenting outstanding and communicative young artists in both conventional venues and community service concerts. Their roster has had such an illustrious array of musicians that it is impossible to select just a few names (but one can visit www.promusicis.org to learn more). Whether the Pro Musicis magic is more in their choosing of exceptional talent or in their nurturing of it through concerts and outreach may be up for debate – surely a mixture of both – but, in any case, they continue to thrive. Juliann Ma, their 2016 addition to the roster, provided ample evidence of that at her recital. (excerpt. Read entire review.)
