Our historical performance division offers rigorous study and private instruction in 13 instruments, including the recorder. Coursework involves applied study on historical instruments, music history, music theory, performance practice, plus a wide range of performance opportunities, including recitals, concerts, and tours. Master classes and performances by the world’s foremost artists augment the experience.
Baroque Performance Institute
Conservatory students and others can take part in the Baroque Performance Institute, a summer workshop focusing on baroque instruments and voice. Conservatory faculty and resident artists lead master classes, as students participate in recitals and student concerts. BPI and the conservatory’s many student performance ensembles give students opportunities to perfect their technique, expand their repertoire, and perform with other historical instrument enthusiasts.
