"Growing Up Maine" is a collaborative project between Classical Uprising, composer Judd Greenstein, and Reiche Community School in Portland, Maine. The project explores identity, place, and Maine's future through a full-length musical work based on writing prompts from students in grades 4 and 5. The prompts ask "Where do you like to go?" as a way to start conversations about belonging and place. The project will culminate in a performance and recording of the musical during Classical Uprising's 2024–2025 anniversary season.

A Marvelous Order is an opera about the struggle between Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses over the fate of New York City in the mid-20th century, co-created with poet Tracy K Smith and animator Joshua Frankel.

A Marvelous Order chronicles the battle between the powerful “master builder” Robert Moses and the urban theorist and activist Jane Jacobs over the fate of New York City’s Greenwich Village. When Moses plans to demolish her neighborhood, Jacobs, the self-taught oracle of unparalleled urban insight, leads a revolt, igniting a conflict that to this day continues to shape manmade environments around the world—from small towns to global cities—and the lives of all who call them home. An expansive work about power and protest, A Marvelous Order examines the ways we live together, who controls our environment, and how we respond to abuses of authority.

Dubbed “an epiphany” by the New York Times, The Yehudim is a mixed ensemble of voices, vintage keyboards, electric guitars and basses, and percussion, conceived of and directed by Judd Greenstein. Taking the composer-led supergroups of the 1970s as inspiration — from Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Meredith Monk to Fela Kuti, Isaac Hayes and Herbie Hancock — The Yehudim explores characters from the Hebrew Bible, using the strange stories of their lives and the ancient writings around their characters to weave contemporary narratives that are Passions for our time.
