As we look forward to the festivities, we have compiled some of Chicago’s most enticing holiday offerings!

The Chicago early music ensemble will collaborate with Baroque opera specialists, an eminent early music keyboard player, and leading chamber groups in its upcoming season.

“I’ve been fascinated with this music for a long time — it’s extremely unusual for our preconceived notions of what Renaissance music sounds like.”

The performance lineup features three mainstage operas; all three titles are rare and represent Chicago premieres.

Approaching the end of a long tenure, the artistic, administrative, and life partners reflect and look ahead.

The Christmas season is one replete with great Baroque music: think Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and more! But what about music from other parts of the world?

2021 was a tumultuous year for us all, but one thing we could count on was some great music.
