history

In 2008 Musicasequencea was founded at the Juilliard School in New York by the artistic director Burak Özdemir as a chamber music project. Özdemir was the first bassoonist in the history of Juilliard University to be accepted into the Artist Diploma Program and then enrolled in the Music Technology Department. In the same year the Juilliard School opened the course Historical Performance Practice and Özdemir joined as a baroque bassoonist. Thus, Musicasequence was founded within the Juilliard School in New York.

Today the ensemble consists of twenty soloists from various countries: Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Bulgaria, Turkey, Australia, China, Japan and Korea. The ensemble plays on historical instruments from the 18th century and has a repertoire from the Renaissance to New Music .

With the production 'Fuga: Die Elektro-Barock Oper' in the Baruch Performing Arts Center in New York in 2010, the ensemble established the genre “Elektro-Barock”. Based on the 21st anniversary of the historic KitKat nightclub in Berlin in 2015, the ensemble was commissioned to produce an electro-baroque opera and the result was “Opera del Futuro”.
