Music of the Baroque was first established in 1972 by its founding music director, Thomas S. Wikman. From its church choir roots, the ensemble has grown to be the Midwest’s premier professional chorus and orchestra specializing in the performance of eighteenth-century works. Long recognized as one of the area’s top classical groups, Music of the Baroque focuses much-deserved attention on repertoire that is often neglected by larger music organizations. Acclaimed conductor Jane Glover was named Music Director in September 2002. Listeners across the country have enjoyed the work of Music of the Baroque, which was the first professional chorus in America to have its own regularly scheduled nationwide broadcast series. Concerts are currently heard on 98.7 WFMT Radio.
