We aim to share a joy of excellence as we grow and educate our communities of audience and performers through listening together. All are inspired and elevated by a brilliant repertoire of the concerto from all periods of music history that captures the drama of soloist/protagonist with in dialogue with a 40-piece professional orchestra comprised of the best free-lance players in the New York area.

Julie Jordan Presents has provided innumerable performance opportunities for the young artists to gain experience as our New York Concerti Sinfonietta continues to thrive with a following and all the soloists and orchestra musicians as well as our principal conductor and guest conductor have congratulated me on our golden win-win. I hope to continue our international outreach to bring artists and students to New York City as well as apply for bringing our concerts in rehearsal to the public and private schools of NYC and elsewhere.
My experience lies in teaching as well as performing which has inspired my joy of sharing these opportunities as everyone gains with the dream of reaching to be a superior soloist with musicians of the highest level as well as supporting through our collaborations.

I have been approached by many composers as well requests from our orchestral players and guest conductors to keep this golden opportunity for soloists to shine. Additionally, I have asked my students who are dancers/choreographers to get ready for collaborative projects as we have been recognized for our "imaginative programming...offered persuasive and compelling performances...

"Maestro Hostetter collaborated by fully bringing out a kaleidoscope of orchestral colors, from sassy – even ribald – trombone interjections to a beautiful, quiet impressionistic interlude with harp arpeggios...Afterward, a full house roared its approval."
With a Carnegie Weill Hall concert last year, Julie Jordan celebrated her ”˜teaching anniversary of twenty-seven years’ at The Juilliard School Evening Division where she is on the Piano Faculty. Dr. Jordan created her Monday/Thursday masterclasses: “The Piano Concerto”, “Solo and Collaborative Piano”, “Piano Sonatas and Salon Solos".

“...Dr. Jordan has guided and nurtured innumerable students during decades of teaching at Juilliard, and has afforded them invaluable performing opportunities through her continuing series of ”˜Julie Jordan Presents’ concerts with her professional orchestra, the New York Concerti Sinfonietta, as well as her piano competitions...”
Julie Jordan is dedicated and passionate about providing both study and performance opportunities for musicians and teaches students of all ages in her private studio.
