House of Time

Mozart's Overture to the Marriage of Figaro arranged for Oboe and Strings by Gonzalo X. Ruiz, performed by House of Time on period instruments performed live in New York City, 2026. Gonzalo X. Ruiz, oboe Tatiana Daubek and Shelby Yamin, violins Jimmy Drancsak, viola Matt Zucker, cello House of Time, known for their “fluency and command” (San Francisco Classical Voice) and "fine playing, cohesiveness and creativity" (Early Music America) is dedicated to both well-known and underperformed repertoire of the 17th through the 21st century played on period instruments. Members and guests include 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) and soloistic precision (Early Music America); Matt Zucker's 2023 performances as viola da gamba soloist in J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with the New York Philharmonic were lauded as “stellar” and “a delight” (Financial Times). By performing quality concerts showcasing world-class musicians on period instruments, House of Time presents our classical music heritage in a way that not only entertains but also allows greater understanding of its cultural context. By replacing the traditional pre-concert lecture with personable and accessible remarks from the stage, the ensemble breaks down the barrier between performer and audience, and gives casual listeners as well as experts the opportunity to understand the intersection between musicology and performance. By committing to performing its series in the Washington Heights as well as Lincoln Center neighborhoods, and making tickets available and affordable through a variety of outlets, House of Time seeks to bring the musical jewels of the past and the thrill of live performance available to all.

One of the brightest stars in the musical firmament of the French court was a woman! The refinement and elegance of Versailles comes through vividly in Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre's gorgeous sonatas and trios. House of Time is joined by viola da gamba virtuoso Adam Young in a program that shines a light on works by one of the king's favorite musicians, a child prodigy when she first moved to court. Also included is one of Rameau's earliest masterpieces, the "Piece de clavecin en concert" in C minor, a work that treats the harpsichord and viola da gamba in dramatically inventive ways, and a suite by Jacquet de la Guerre’s colleague and friend Marin Marais. Come join House of Time and hear for yourself what made her the Queen of Parnassus!

On November 1st and 2nd we perform Queen of Parnassus: Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Visit houseoftimemusic.org for details
