About

The Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global Environmental Science

At Caltech, The Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global Environmental Science studies the Earth's global environment, including the impact of human activities on it. Society's response to these human impacts stands as one of the pivotal scientific and engineering challenges of our era. These are also among the most difficult problems to solve, because the dynamic Earth system involves interactions among the atmosphere, oceans, ice sheets, and living systems on scales ranging from nanoseconds to millions of years and on spatial scales from molecules to continents.

Accurately forecasting upcoming changes, mitigating those that are preventable, and adapting to those that are inevitable demand innovative solutions that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. Communication and education of proposed solutions are equally important as these interactions will impact policy and implementation in upcoming decades. This exchange of ideas provides critical opportunities for collaboration between the arts and STEM fields. Earth Week stands as a reminder that open, public discussion of science enhances environmental stewardship, fosters understanding of the complex Earth system, and supports evidence-based decisions about how our actions will influence future climate scenarios. The Linde Center is proud to partner with Dr. Lucy Jones and the talented artists from Colburn School for the In Nomine Terra Calens concert to strengthen collaborations across society and forge a path to a sustainable future.

The Baroque Ensemble

Led by harpsichordist, organist, and musicologist Ian Pritchard, the Conservatory of Music's Baroque Ensemble brings the music of the 17th– and 18th–century to life, performing masterpieces from one of the richest periods in music history.

Colburn School

A performing arts institution located in the heart of Los Angeles, the Colburn School trains students from beginners to those about to embark on professional careers. The academic units of the School provide a complete spectrum of music and dance education united by a single philosophy: that all who desire to study music or dance should have access to top-level instruction.

• The diploma- and degree-granting Conservatory of Music is distinguished by a unique all-scholarship model, renowned faculty, and outstanding performance opportunities. It prepares the very highest level of collegiate musicians for professional careers.
• The Music Academy is a highly selective training program for gifted young pre-collegiate musicians, designed to prepare students for conservatory study and performing careers at the highest levels of achievement. This residential program balances performance, musical instruction, and academics.
• The Community School of Performing Arts welcomes students of all ages, from seven months old to adults. It offers more than 120 classes each year in orchestral instruments, piano, guitar, voice, jazz, music theory, drama, and ensembles including orchestra, choir, and chamber music.
• The Trudl Zipper Dance Institute develops performers of all levels, from aspiring professionals in the Dance Academy to beginners starting in Youth Dance. Students of all levels receive training in ballet, tap, and modern genres as part of a comprehensive dance education.
• Created to serve all units of the School, the Center for Innovation and Community Impact empowers the musical and dance leaders of tomorrow by nurturing students' passion and ability to serve their communities, preparing them for sustainable careers, and embracing the development of new ideas. The Center embodies Colburn's commitment to developing young artists with the curiosity, skills, and commitment to make a difference in their field.

Each year, more than 2,000 students from around the world come to Colburn to benefit from the renowned faculty, exceptional facilities, and focus on excellence that unites the community.

In 2024, the Colburn School broke ground on a transformational campus expansion designed by Frank Gehry. Located across the street from the School's existing campus at the intersection of Olive and Second Streets, the building will enable the School to expand its mission of presenting programs for the public. Gehry's design includes a 1,000-seat in-the-round concert hall named for Terri and Jerry Kohl, five professional-sized dance studios including a 100-seat studio theater, and gardens that bring fresh air and green spaces to the downtown landscape. The expansion will more than double the facilities for the School's Trudl Zipper Dance Institute, creating one of the most comprehensive dance education complexes in Southern California.
