The Baroque Band is a period-instrument orchestra based in Chicago. It was founded in 2007 by the British violinist and conductor Garry Clarke. Garry moved to the US in 2004; while in the UK, he performed with The Academy of Ancient Music, The Sixteen, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and other ensembles. He has also worked with Christopher Hogwood, John Elliot Gardener, Sir Charles Mackaras and many other eminent conductors.
Chicago Tribune critic John von Rhein hailed the Baroque Band as one of the top ten Chicago ensembles. He wrote: “The goal of Garry Clarke is to make the group a nexus of “authentic” pre-classical performance in the Midwest. An ambitious undertaking, but Clarke and friends are off to an auspicious start.”
We’re in the process of providing access to some of the live recordings made by the Baroque Band in the past three seasons. To whet your appetite, here are two recordings: Henry Purcell’s Suite from Dido and Aeneas (there’s much more to this music than the famous When I’m laid in earth aria), with the wonderful mezzo-soprano Jennifer Lane and David Schrader at the harpsichord; and Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Suite from Les Indes Galantes. We’ll have more from the Baroque Band later; in the mean time you can listen here.
