Trinity Baroque Orchestra

Praised for its dramatic vigor and elegantly shaped orchestral sound, Trinity Church’s superb period instrument ensemble, Trinity Baroque Orchestra, has been heard in venues from New York’s Alice Tully Hall and Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts to Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall and Montreal’s Salle Bourgie Hall, performing many of the greatest masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire.    

A cornerstone of Trinity’s popular Bach at One series, Trinity Baroque Orchestra is widely recognized as a compelling interpreter of Baroque and early music. After presenting Bach’s entire monumental output of sacred vocal music, Trinity Baroque Orchestra and Trinity Choir embarked on The Handel Project, a multi-season initiative presenting Handel’s oratorios. The orchestra is featured annually in Trinity’s critically acclaimed performances of Handel’s Messiah, which The New York Times declared to be “the gold standard.” Trinity Baroque Orchestra can be heard alongside Trinity Choir on the album J. S. Bach: Complete Motets as well as on Trinity’s recording of Handel’s Israel in Egypt, which was nominated for a Grammy Award.  

Trinity Baroque Orchestra boasts a varied roster of North America’s finest period instrument players. Many of the orchestra’s members also hold faculty positions at distinguished institutions including Yale, Harvard, Indiana University, and the Juilliard School’s Historical Performance Program.
