The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY), one of New York’s leading cultural venues, presents the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & Julia Bullock, soprano performing The Golden Age of the Baroque on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at 7:30pm ET on the David Geffen Stage at Kaufmann Concert Hall. Tickets start at $40 and are available at https://www.92ny.org/event/oae-and-julia-bullock.

The UK’s preeminent Baroque ensemble, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, makes its first 92NY appearance joined by vocal star Julia Bullock, the artist the Los Angeles Times has called “an essential soprano for our times,” in her own 92NY debut. The Grammy Award-winning Bullock continues to astound the music world with her lustrous voice, probing intellect, and remarkable versatility, dazzling in her Metropolitan Opera debut last season in John Adams’ El Niño.
