Baroque Band, Chicago’s period-instrument orchestra, gave its first public performances in May 2007 to rave reviews from both the press and enthusiastic audiences. As Chicago’s only period-instrument orchestra they present subscription programs in three Chicago-area locations including downtown at Symphony Center, are Ensemble-in-residence at The Music Institute of Chicago, and Artistic Partner of The University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. Under the artistic direction and leadership of British baroque violinist Garry Clarke, Baroque Band has quickly become known as a stylish and exciting period-instrument ensemble.
