Meet Nuova Pratica
Nuova Pratica is an ensemble of composer-performers that believes the music of the past is an important part of the future. Born out of Juilliard’s Historical Performance program, the members of Nuova Pratica specialize in the composition, improvisation, and performance of European style baroque music. Each member of the group contributes a unique musical style and approach to composition, influenced by each individual’s musical background.
Nuova Pratica's aim is to provide audiences with new music in familiar styles and to fully explore the utility of historical composition techniques by applying them to contemporary music. By engaging this music so intimately, Nuova Pratica is doing something both intensely historical and brand new.
Nuova Pratica has performed at churches and presented educational workshops on early music throughout the country. The group will be releasing their debut album in 2026!
