The Historical Performance movement began as a revolution: a reimagining of musical conventions, a rediscovery of instruments, techniques, and artworks that inspire and teach us, and a celebration of diversity in repertoire. It is also a conversation with the past, a past whose legacy of racism and colonialism has silenced and excluded too many voices from being heard. We do not seek simply to recreate what might have been but to imagine what should be. We embrace Juilliard's values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through voices heard anew and historical works presented with empathetic perspectives, and we reject discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. We recognize that we study and work on the traditional homeland of those who preceded us (see Juilliard's land acknowledgement statement, below).

Bach and his contemporaries. Founded in 1990 by Music Director Masaaki Suzuki, Bach Collegium Japan introduced Japanese audiences to period instrument performances, toured the world, and made several acclaimed BIS recordings. Bach Collegium Japan debuted in North America in April 2003 performing the St. Matthew and St. John Passions of J. S. Bach across the United States in New York at Carnegie Hall, and in Los Angeles, Berkeley, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Boston. Recent international tours include concerts in Europe’s major music centers – Madrid, Amsterdam (Concertgebouw), London (Barbican), Rome, Paris, Berlin and Brussels – and at leading festivals in Hong Kong, Edinburgh, Santiago de Compostela, Tel Aviv, Leipzig, Bremen, and Melbourne as well as at the BBC Proms. In 2017, the BCJ makes its 6th tour of North America performing Bach’s Christmas Oratorio at Lincoln Center, University Musical Society, San Francisco Symphony, and the Philharmonic Society of Orange County.

  • Maximilian Schmitt Entdeckte Seine Liebe Zur Musik Bereits in Jungen Jahren Bei Den Regensburger Domspatzen
    Maximilian Schmitt entdeckte seine Liebe zur Musik bereits in jungen Jahren bei den Regensburger Domspatzen. Er studierte Gesang bei Roland Hermann und Prof. Anke Eggers in Berlin. 2005 und 2006 war er Mitglied im Jungen Ensemble der Bayerischen Staatsoper München. Während seiner Münchner Zeit debütierte Maximilian Schmitt am Salzburger Landestheater als Tamino in der Zauberflöte, bevor er sich für vier Jahre beim Ensemble des Mannheimer Nationaltheaters verpflichtete. Dort sang er David/Meistersinger, Lenski/Eugen Onegin und den lyrischen Mozart-Partien wie Tamino, Don Ottavio, Belmonte oder Ferrando. Im Sommer 2012 beschloss Maximilian Schmitt seine erfolgreiche Mannheimer Zeit mit der Titelpartie in Mozarts La Clemenza di Tito. In konzertanten Opernabenden war Maximilian Schmitt mit dem Scottish Chamber Orchestra unter Robin Ticciati (Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni, Ferrando/Così fan tutte) und mit dem WDR Sinfonieorchester mit deutschen romantischen Arien zu erleben. Ende 2012 debütierte er an der Oper Amsterdam als Tamino in der gefeierten Neuproduktion von Simon McBurney unter Marc Albrecht. In René Jacobs‘ Produktion von Mozarts Entführung aus dem Serail mit der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin übernahm er die Partie des Belmonte. Konzertante Vorstellungen führten nach Perugia, in den Amsterdamer Concertgebouw sowie in den BOZAR nach Brüssel. Die CD liegt inzwischen bei harmonia mundi France vor. Neben seiner Leidenschaft für die Oper hat der Konzertgesang großes Gewicht. Sein weit gefächertes Repertoire reicht von Monteverdi über Mozart bis Mendelssohn, eingeladen von Dirigenten wie Franz Welser-Möst, Andrew Manze, Daniel Harding, Thomas Hengelbrock, Fabio Luisi, Andres Orozco Estrada, Marcus Creed, Trevor Pinnock, René Jacobs, Robin Ticciati und Orchestern wie der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, dem Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, den Symphonieorchestern des Bayerischen und des Mitteldeutschen Rundfunks, dem WDR Sinfonieorchester, den Wiener Symphonikern, dem Cleveland Orchestra, dem Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra und dem Gewandhausorchester Leipzig.
