The Nations: a musical tour through Baroque Europe: Couperin, Telemann, Purcell, Vivaldi, and more!
House of Time, known for their fluency and command (San Francisco Classical Voice) is dedicated to both well-known and underperformed repertoire of the 17th through the 21st century played on period instruments. Members and guests include Juilliard and Curtis faculty and alumni of The Juilliard School, as well as prize-winners of major international competitions. Using the instruments and techniques of the past to express the vivid passions in the music, House of Time has moved audiences and keeps them coming back for more. Critics have declared oboist, Gonzalo X. Ruiz, one of only a handful of truly superb baroque oboists in the world (Alte Musik Aktuell); Tatiana Daubek, is known for her "sleekly elegant playing" (Gazettes Long Beach); Avi Stein, one of NYCs finest, is described by the New York Times as a brilliant organ soloist and Beiliang Zhu, is described by the New Yorker as elegant, sensual and stylishly wild.
Currently in their 5th season as ensemble in residence at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, they have been presented by Berkeley Early Music Festival, Czech Center New York, Early Music Festival: NYC, San Diego and San Francisco Early Music Societies, and The University Club in NYC and the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments. Future appearances include concerts at the Lobkowicz Palace in Prague and on the prominent series, Music Before 1800 in Manhattan. House of Time as a group and individuals continue to give free outreach concerts at Mount Sinai Concerts for Patients in New York City.
House of Time kicks off its fifth season with a whirlwind tour including such favorites as Couperin's "L'Imperiale", and Telemann's glorious "Paris Quartet" in E minor, as well as a thrilling sonata by the Spanish oboe virtuoso Pla, beautiful and eccentric violin works by Pandolfi, trios by Purcell, and an cello sonata by Vivaldi.
