After wowing the Midtown audience last year, Nuova Pratica returns with a program of newly-composed Baroque-style pieces.
Nuova Pratica’s aim is not only to provide audiences with new and exquisitely composed music in styles they know and love, but to explore fully the utility of these historical techniques by applying them to other kinds of music — to gain a deep understanding of the underpinnings of historical music by building upon methods to improvise it together, and then to share our discoveries! By engaging this music so intimately, Nuova Pratica is doing something both intensely historical and brand new.
