Approximately 120 participating student ensembles receive personalized coachings from leading chamber music performers on the school's faculty, including members of the school's ensembles-in-residence: the Juilliard String Quartet and the American Brass Quintet. Pianist Joseph Kalichstein holds the Edwin S. and Nancy A. Marks Endowed Chair in Chamber Music Studies. The Argus Quartet is currently Juilliard's graduate resident string quartet. Other prominent ensembles that have emerged from Juilliard in recent years include the Aeolus, Afiara, Attacca, Calder, and Verona quartets; Quartet Senza Misura; the Claremont Trio, and the Toomai Quintet. In preparation for performances, students have the opportunity to participate in an intensive week of coaching with a faculty member (normally not part of their coaching schedule), as part of the school's annual weeklong ChamberFest. The school's honors chamber music program is an intensive year-long program for a maximum of four ensembles comprising string and piano trios and quartets. Performances by Juilliard's student chamber ensembles take place in regularly scheduled concerts in Juilliard's Paul Hall and Peter Jay Sharp Theater and Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. Many of these events are free and open to the public.
               
Juilliard's series of Liederabend and Sonatenabend concerts showcase the Juilliard musicians studying in the collaborative piano program, where they learn the art of coaching and analysis of the performance at hand, in addition to accompanying myriad Juilliard musicians in recitals, lessons, auditions, and jury performances. Juilliard Songfest and Songbook concerts present vocalists from Juilliard's Ellen and James S. Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts in the performance of song literature, paired with collaborative piano department faculty.
