Programs will be announced from the stage.<br />
Established in 2009, Juilliard Historical Performance was immediately<br />
recognized as one of the leading programs of its kind. The full tuition<br />
scholarship program is open to master of music degree and graduate<br />
diploma candidates and offers comprehensive study focusing on music from<br />
the 17th and 18th centuries. The performance-oriented curriculum fosters an informed,<br />
vital understanding of the many issues unique to period instrument performance with<br />
the level of technical excellence and musical integrity for which Juilliard is renowned.<br />
Students have the opportunity to work with a world-renowned resident and guest faculty<br />
in the classroom and the concert hall. Juilliard415, the school’s primary period-instrument<br />
orchestra maintains a rigorous and intensive performance schedule. Among the highlights<br />
of recent seasons are performances of music by Rameau and Lully with William Christie;<br />
a fully-staged production of Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea led by Harry Bicket;<br />
Haydn’s Creation, with the Yale Schola Cantorum, conducted by Masaaki Suzuki; and a<br />
selection of early Haydn symphonies under the baton of Christopher Hogwood. In April<br />
2011, the ensemble was engaged to accompany David Daniels and Dorothea Röschmann<br />
in a concert of Handel arias and duets at Carnegie Hall, a concert that The New York Times<br />
described as “radiantly beautiful” and cited as one of the best concerts of the year.<br />
The ensemble recently traveled to Spain for a sold-out performance of the complete<br />
“Brandenburg” Concertos at the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid and performed Bach’s<br />
St. Matthew Passion on tour in Italy in a joint concert project with Yale University’s Institute<br />
of Sacred <strong>Music</strong> under the baton Masaaki Suzuki. In the 2011-12 season, the group toured<br />
Japan and Singapore with performances of Bach’s B minor Mass.<br />

The Green Mountain Project<br />
Wednesday, January 2,<br />

St. Mary the Virgin in Times Square<br />
(New York, NY)<br />
Saturday, January 5, 7:30pm<br />
St. Paul’s Church on Harvard Square<br />
(Cambridge, MA)<br />
The Green Mountain Project (honoring the literal translation of Monteverdi’s<br />
name) returns with Claudio Monteverdi’s grand Vespers of 1610, the work that<br />
launched this beloved annual event. The antiphons, responses, motets, hymn<br />
and canticle that Monteverdi shaped into the Vespers of 1610 represent the<br />
pinnacle of 17th century sacred music, and over 30 musicians will perform this masterpiece<br />
in an ideal space, the glorious Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Because of the overwhelming<br />
audience demand to hear this work, there will be three performances: two in New York<br />
City, and one in Cambridge, MA.<br />
St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice<br />
