Boston Baroque is a long-established ensemble based in Boston, Massachusetts, recognized as North America’s first permanent Baroque orchestra. Founded in 1973 by Music Director Martin Pearlman, the organization performs Baroque and Classical repertoire using period instruments and historically informed techniques, often augmented by a professional chorus and a roster of soloists for concert and recording projects. Its activities target classical music listeners and institutions that value early music performed with period aesthetics, delivering emotionally charged performances and commercially released recordings that reach a global audience through radio, streaming, and other distribution channels. The company operates within the musicians industry and maintains a substantial artistic program, including in-person performances and a growing catalog of acclaimed recordings that have earned Grammy nominations. Based in Boston, it carries a longstanding mission to present Baroque and Classical music as relevant to contemporary audiences, while expanding its reach through collaborations, new artistic leadership, and ongoing concert activity. A recent development includes the appointment of new leadership in 2023 and 2026, signaling continued evolution of its artistic direction.
