New York Baroque Incorporated nybaroque.org

Hailed as “truly excellent” (The New York Times), New York Baroque Incorporated (NYBI) is a conductorless orchestra of period instruments in New York City, offering vital, informed, and fresh performances of a wide range of 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, as well as creating a vibrant landscape for collaborations between historical performance and living composers.

NYBI has collaborated with renowned soloists including Richard Egarr, Vivica Genaux, Monica Huggett, Jakub Jòzef Orliński, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Morgan Library, Spoleto Festival USA, and Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. Striving to make period instruments a living art form, NYBI has premiered works by Nico Muhly, Hollis Taylor, and Huang Ruo. The orchestra also dedicates itself to bring to life unknown works of the Baroque, and has revived and presented modern-day premieres of Cavalli’s Veremonda (1652), Aliotti’s Santa Rosalia (1687), and Seckendorff’s Proserpina (1777). Last season, NYBI launched the series Alchemy, with each program based on a classical element: water, air, earth, and fire.
