History
Carolina Baroque was organized by Dale Higbee in 1988 for the purpose of performing music of the Baroque period (c. 1600-1750) on instruments familiar to Monteverdi, Purcell, Buxtehude, Vivaldi, Telemann, J. S. Bach, and Handel during this Golden Age of Music. Since then we have performed in many cities in North Carolina, as well as in South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. We appeared on Public TV (WTVI-42), have received rave reviews in the press, and digital CD recordings of our Salisbury concerts have been broadcast many times over both Davidson College's WDAV (FM 89.9) and Wake Forest University's WFDD (88.5 FM). Carolina Baroque is a funded member of the Arts Council of Rowan and an organizational member of Early Music America. The Music Director is a resident of Salisbury, NC, but the other artists are professional musicians from various North Carolina cities who have performed throughout the US, as well as in Europe and South America.
Now in our 20th season, we will present the 2007-2008 "Salisbury
Bach & Handel Festival" in the beautiful and acoustically
excellent Chapel of St. John's Lutheran Church, 200 W. Innes
St., Salisbury, NC 28144. Concerts are Fridays at 7:30 pm.
The Festival receives support from the Rowan Arts Council, the
North Carolina Arts Council
and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Complete schedule and program information is here.
Suggested donation for concert attendees is $10.
Carolina Baroque is available for concerts throughout the Carolinas and Virginia, as well as for school programs, receptions, and weddings.
