Bio

Pianist-conductor-historian Joel Sachs is professor emeritus at The Juilliard School, New York City, where he created, directed, and conducted the New Juilliard Ensemble, a chamber orchestra for the newest music; created and directed the annual week-long Focus Festival, which explored many topics in global music; and taught new-music performance, chamber music, and music history. Outside Juilliard he is co-director of the New York ensemble Continuum, which has played all over the planet. Since retiring — which he calls “ReWirement” — in 2022 after 52 years, he has been giving recitals, learning new repertory, writing two books, and enjoying life. This Fall, his engagements include a concert at St Bartholomew’s (London, UK), in celebration of its 900th anniversary, and a lecture-recital at the Grieg-Begegnungsstätte (Leipzig).
