The Master of Music in Historical Performance program at Boston University provides a training ground for students pursuing performance and teaching careers either as instrumentalists on period instruments or as singers specializing in music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The city of Boston, long a world center for early music performance, serves as a supportive backdrop in developing student careers. Boston University’s resources-its libraries, facilities, and faculty-offer students rich support in the pursuit of their studies.
