About Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale Under the musical direction of Nicholas McGegan for the past 33 years, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale (PBO) is recognized as America’s leading historically informed ensemble. Using authentic instruments and stylistic conventions of the Baroque to early-Romantic periods, the orchestra engages audiences through its signature Bay Area series, national tours, recordings, commissions, and education projects of the highest standard. Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area 38 years ago, the ensemble is the largest of its kind in the United States and is known for its versatility in programming and joyful performances.

PBO’s musicians are among the best in the country and serve on the faculties of The Juilliard School, Harvard, and Stanford. The Orchestra performs an annual subscription season throughout the Bay Area as well as a popular alternative concert series — PBO SESSIONS — which has regularly sold out since its inception in 2014. In April 2017, PBO performed the modern-day premiere of Rameau’s Le Temple de la Gloire. The fully-staged opera included an international cast of singers and dancers and celebrated sold-out audiences and critical acclaim from around the world.

Each season welcomes eminent guest artists such as mezzo-sopranos Susan Graham and Anne Sofie von Otter, countertenor Andreas Scholl, violoncellist Steven Isserlis, and maestros Jordi Savall and Richard Egarr. The Orchestra enjoys numerous collaborations, including an ongoing collaboration with the Mark Morris Dance Group and tours regularly to Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Disney Concert Hall. In July 2017, PBO co-produced the critically-acclaimed modern adaptation of Aci, Galatea e Polifemo with Anthony Roth Costanzo and National Sawdust in Brooklyn.

Among the most recorded orchestras in the world, PBO boasts a discography of more than 40 recordings and launched its own label in 2011, on which it has released ten recordings.

PBO also maintains two major initiatives — Jews & Music and New Music for Old Instruments, and regularly commissions new works, including two recent commissions

by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw: the first for mezzo-soprano Anne-Sofie von Otter enjoyed its world premiere at Disney Hall in 2016 followed by the second in the song cycle for soprano Dominique Labelle in 2017. A third piece will be premiered at Lincoln Center in March 2019. PBO commissioned “To Hell and Back” by Guggenheim Fellow Jake Heggie. Future seasons bring new commissions by Caroline Shaw, Matthew Aucoin, and Mason Bates.

To nurture the next generation of historically informed performance, Philharmonia and The Juilliard School’s Historical Performance launched a permanent collaboration in 2016.

PBO was founded by harpsichordist and early music pioneer Laurette Goldberg.

Nicholas McGegan will become Music Director Laureate effective with the 2020/21 season. Richard Egarr is Music Director Designate.
