Music Before 1800 & Juilliard 415

The virtuoso students of Juilliard’s Historical Performance program return to MB1800 to celebrate the orchestral imagination of the operatic revolutionary Jean-Philippe Rameau. Drawn from his operas Castor et Pollux (Paris, 1737) and Dardanus (1739), this sumptuous program highlights Rameau’s breathtaking sonorities, his propulsive and kinetic dance movements, and his heartbreaking airs.
