About the Artists

Juilliard Historical Performance

Students in Juilliard’s Historical Performance department are part of a small and highly selective training program for advanced students who aspire to leadership in the field of early music. Our graduates have gone on to perform with many of the world’s most prominent historical-performance ensembles, including Les Arts Florissants, Tafelmusik, The English Concert, Bach Collegium Japan, The Handel and Haydn Society, the Boston Early Music Festival, New York’s Trinity Baroque Orchestra, and San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque.

As outstanding historical performers also need to be excellent historians and researchers, Juilliard HP combines high-level performance training with rigorous academic study. Students take private lessons with renowned faculty and visiting artists; participate in a variety of ensembles; and take classes tailored to the scholar-performer, including improvisation, performance practice, Baroque theory and ear-training, historic dance, and continuo.

Our students also acquire the skills to create and manage their own ensembles, and to communicate effectively with their audiences. They also share their skills with the young members of Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program and the Sphinx Performance Academy at Juilliard, introducing the idea of historical performance to music students in their teens, and to the wider community through Juilliard’s Community Engagement program.

Juilliard HP students are in the forefront of reinventing our field for the 21st century. Graduates are creating new music written in old styles; they create genre-defying albums; they might start a string quartet that combines period performance with commissions of new works or explore the relation of Baroque music to new choreographies. Our students are discovering unheard works from the archives and are bringing old works to vivid life again.

Juilliard Historical Performance immerses our students in the traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries, so this language can speak to us anew today.
