Meet Nuova Pratica

Nuova Pratica is an ensemble of composer-performers that believes the music of the past is a big part of the future. Formed in 2020 by a group of Juilliard Historical Performance students, the group came together to explore all of the creative

possibilities early music has to offer. We compose and improvise music in pursuit of some of our favorite sounds for audiences which share our passion for this music.

 

Nuova Pratica’s members write music in revamped historical styles. Many of the pieces Nuova Pratica composes would make you believe we’re long dead, and with others, our early music influences are decidedly lighter — in either case we feel certain that this music belongs in our time. We see our work as a natural progression of the historical performance movement, and a way to bring these beautiful and undying sound-worlds back to the average listener. By engaging this music so intimately, Nuova Pratica is doing something both intensely historical and brand new.

​

Nuova Pratica has performed throughout the United States, presenting concerts and educational workshops in Michigan, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

Riley

Riley is an adorable Beagle mix adopted by Nicola Canzano and his partner Liza in 2019. She hates the harpsichord, but loves the viola da gamba. Even so, she will willingly “play Couperin” for treats.
