AXIOM, led by music director Jeffrey Milarsky, is dedicated to performing the masterworks of the 20th- and 21st-century repertoire. Since its debut in Avery Fisher Hall (now David Geffen Hall) in 2006, the studentcreated group has established itself as a leading ensemble in New York City’s contemporary music scene with performances throughout Lincoln Center, in addition to appearances at Columbia University’s Miller Theatre and (Le) Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village. AXIOM is grounded in Juilliard’s curriculum. Students receive a credit for performing in the ensemble and, during any four-year period, AXIOM members will have the opportunity to perform works by John Adams, Harrison Birtwistle, Jacob Druckman (BS ’54, MS ’56, composition; faculty 1956-72), Marcus Lindberg, and Arnold Schoenberg, among others. Guest conductors have included Alan Gilbert (Pre-College ’85; MM ’94, orchestral conducting; faculty 2009-18), Susanna Mälkki, and David Robertson (faculty 2018-present). Last season, AXIOM performed works by Elliott Carter (faculty 1966-84), Unsuk Chin, George Crumb, Paul Hindemith, Jordyn Gallinek (MM ’20, composition), Toru Takemitsu, Arnold Schoenberg, Joan Tower, Charles Wuorinen, and Charles Ives. In the 2021-22 season, the group played music by Pierre Boulez (faculty 1972-75), Alvin Singleton, Olivier Messiaen, Thomas Adès, Jeffrey Mumford, Carter, George Lewis, Marcos Balter, Anthony Braxton, and Tania Leòn. And in the truncated 2019-20 season, AXIOM performed works by Igor Stravinsky, Takemitsu, Birtwistle, Carter, Lewis, Morton Feldman, Philip Glass (Diploma ’60, MS ’62, composition), Boulez, Adès, and Melinda Wagner, chair of Juilliard’s composition faculty.
