Juilliard Historical Performance<br />

Trinity Church<br />

Robert Mealy, Director<br />

Monica Huggett, Artistic Advisor and Artist in Residence<br />

Benjamin Sosland, Administrative Director<br />

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 />

& Thursday, January 3, 7:30pm<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 />
