Vijay Gupta

An esteemed performer, communicator, educator, and citizen-artist, Vijay Gupta (Pre-College ’02) is a leading advocate for the role of the arts and music to heal, inspire, provoke change, and foster social connection. He is the founder and artistic director of Street Symphony, a nonprofit organization providing musical engagement, dialogue, and teaching artistry for homeless and incarcerated communities in Los Angeles. Recognized for his “dedication to bringing beauty, respite, and purpose to those all too often ignored by society while demonstrating the capacity of music to validate our shared humanity,” Gupta is a 2018 John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellow. He joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2007 at age 19. A passionate and dedicated educator, Gupta serves on the faculties of the Colburn School and the Longy School of Music of Bard College, as well as on the board of the D.C.-based national arts advocacy organization Americans for the Arts. An acclaimed international performer since age 8, Gupta made his solo debut with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under Zubin Mehta at age 11. He has appeared as a guest concertmaster with the Los Angeles Opera and Philharmonia Orchestra of London and is an active recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician. Gupta also speaks and advocates nationally on the intersection of music, health, and social justice issues. He holds a BS in biology from Marist College and an MM from the Yale School of Music.

Damian Woetzel

Damian Woetzel is the seventh president of The Juilliard School. Since retiring in 2008 from a 20-year career as a principal dancer with New York City Ballet, Woetzel has taken on multiple roles in arts leadership, including artistic director of the Vail Dance Festival since 2007, and director of the Aspen Institute Arts Program (2011-18). As an independent director, choreographer, and producer, his recent projects include DEMO at the Kennedy Center; Spaces by Wynton Marsalis for Jazz at Lincoln Center; Kennedy Center Honors tributes to Natalia Makarova, Patricia McBride, and Carmen de Lavallade; an arts salute to Stephen Hawking for the World Science Festival; two Turnaround Arts performances at the White House and the first performance of the White House Dance Series, all hosted by Michelle Obama. Woetzel has collaborated on numerous performances and initiatives with Yo-Yo Ma, including the Silk Road Connect program in the New York City public schools. In 2009, Woetzel became the founding director of the Jerome Robbins Foundation’s New Essential Works (NEW) Program, a five-year program that initiated grants to support the production of 35 new dance works. In 2009, President Obama appointed Woetzel to the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, and he served throughout the Obama administration. Woetzel holds a Master in Public Administration degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard Law School. He received the Harvard Arts Medal in 2015, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
