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.
Fifteen of our CDs are listed on the truly fabulous Bach Cantatas website based in Israel and run by Aryeh Oron.
Dr. Higbee is internationally recognized as an authority on the recorder because of his many publications.
Dale Higbee, who earned his Ph. D. in clinical psychology, shares his views on the "Essentials for a Fulfilling Life."
Now in our 22nd season, we will present the 2009-2010 "Salisbury
Bach & Handel Festival" in the beautiful and acoustically
