CONGRATULATIONS MONICA!

Baroque Band would like to send its best wishes to Monica Huggett for her appointment, announced TODAY, as director of the Juilliard's Early-Music Graduate Program.

You can read all about it in today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/arts/music/24earl.html?_r=1&ref=arts&oref=slogin

And here in Chicago you can be the first U.S. audience to hear Ms. Huggett since the announcement.  Next week Ms. Huggett performs Vivaldi's The Four Seasons with Baroque Band in three concerts, September 30, October 2 and October 3.

As well as the three concerts we are delighted that Ms. Huggett will give the inaugural master class in Baroque Band's new International Master Class Series. Come and hear her guide the period-instrument performers of the future in the class at the Music Institute of Chicago, Evanston on October 1st.
