Boston Baroque

Boston Baroque is the oldest permanent period instrument orchestra in North America. It was founded in 1973 by the American harpsichordist and conductor, Martin Pearlman, to present concerts of the Baroque and Classical repertoire on period instruments, drawing on the insights of the historical performance movement. The Boston Baroque professional chamber chorus was established as an integral part of the ensemble in 1981. With Pearlman as its music director, the ensemble presented an annual subscription concert series in Greater Boston, Massachusetts; performed on tour in Carnegie Hall, Chicago's Shubert Theatre, Los Angeles's Disney Hall, at the Ravinia and Tanglewood festivals, and toured internationally. Pearlman retired as music director at the end of the 2024-25 season. The French conductor, Marc Minkowski, was appointed the new music director of Boston Baroque in April 2026 and will take over leadership in the 2026-2027 season.
