Through a partnership program between Columbia or Barnard and Juilliard, exceptionally talented students whose skills range from astrophysics to modern dance can receive a B.A. from Columbia or Barnard and an M.M. from Juilliard in only five years. We caught up with a few of these all-star students: freshmen musicians Sam Karlinski, Conrad Tao, and Jingxuan Zhang (CC '15) to find out more about what the program has to offer. Full interview and performance videos after the jump. To hear these students live, you can check out Karlinski and Zhang November 16 here at Miller Theatre and Tao on November 18 at a free show at Rockefeller Center.
