The Mission of Chatham Baroque is to connect diverse audiences to the passion and depth of the music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, and Early Classical periods through performing and presenting vivid and compelling programs and educational experiences.
Founded in 1990, the ensemble Chatham Baroque consists of Andrew Fouts (violin), Patricia Halverson (viola da gamba), and Scott Pauley (theorbo & baroque guitar) who invite an array of guest instrumentalists and vocalists for productions of world-class early music performed on period instruments. The group holds a concert series in Pittsburgh, collaborates frequently with opera, theater, and dance companies, and tours nationally and internationally.
Since 1969, the Renaissance & Baroque concert series has brought distinguished early music artists and ensembles from across the country and around the world to perform in Pittsburgh. This concert series spans approximately 1000 years of music from the Medieval period to the Classical period, and the performances range in size from solo recitals to baroque orchestras.
