Newport Classical Music Festival 🎵 Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra

Under the musical direction of Richard Egarr in his second season as Music Director, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra is recognized as “America’s leading historically informed ensemble” (The New York Times). Considered the most versatile ensemble of its kind and performing entirely on period instruments, PBO offers a thoughtful program of Handel and Biber. This program also features the East Coast Premiere of a new work by Mason Bates, which the composer describes as “a dreamy and lyrical mediation on the interesting connection between baroque performance practice and early bluegrass.”
