Juilliard Bookstore Visit

On the morning of February 11 (U.S. time), students visited The Juilliard School. In the afternoon, they explored the American Museum of Natural History and the iconic Empire State Building. However, what impressed students most was undoubtedly The Juilliard School.

Berklee Immersion Experience

According to the itinerary, on February 12 (U.S. time), Professor Li Mo, Academic Director of LBM, led students to visit Yale University in New York before proceeding to Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Secrets of Harvard's Main Gate

On February 13 (U.S. time), the group visited New England Conservatory and Harvard University's historic campus, taking photos with the world-famous "Statue of Three Lies" at Harvard Yard. Let's see what insights our students gained at Harvard!

Historic Trinity Church

After Harvard, students visited the ancient Trinity Church and Hancock Tower, passing through Boston Common, Swan Lake Park, Prudential Tower, Boston Public Library, and the golden-domed Massachusetts State House.

About Trinity Church

Located in London's Marylebone district, Trinity Church was designed in 1825 by Sir John Soane, one of Britain's greatest modern architects. This Gothic-style architecture differs significantly from the more ornate Baroque style commonly seen in Rome.

As the music festival approaches its conclusion, we believe students have gained tremendously. There are still more wonderful arrangements awaiting - let's look forward to them together!
