Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale History
The Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, founded in 1981 by Nicholas McGegan, has carved a niche as one of the premier period-instrument ensembles in the United States. The orchestra's mission is to revive the sound and style of 17th and 18th-century music, drawing from the authentic practices of the Baroque, Classical, and early Romantic periods. Over the years, they have garnered a reputation for their vibrant performances of both well-known and rarely performed works. Under the guidance of McGegan, the orchestra has expanded its repertoire, offering innovative concerts that blend traditional pieces with contemporary works, often collaborating with notable soloists and guest conductors. Their commitment to education and community engagement has also led to outreach programs that introduce classical music to younger audiences, ensuring that the baroque tradition continues to thrive in modern culture.
