Violinist Robert Mealy, head of Juilliard’s distinguished Historical Performance program and director of the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, helms this program blending music and dance from Rameau’s spectacular operas. Our leap into the splendour of the French baroque includes period ensemble Juilliard415, who perform alongside Tafelmusik in a pas de deux that bridges generations of historically informed expertise.

Rameau wrote some of the most kinetic dance music before Stravinsky, with rhythms so vivid that his own dancers remarked admiringly that he taught them how to dance. His music is brought to life with choreographies by renowned Baroque dancer Caroline Copeland, who is joined by Julian Donahue as her dance partner.

Whether you consider yourself a baroque aesthete or a novice, this program is sure to sweep you off your feet.
