40th Annual Season: June 21-28, 2020
Grand Tour of Europe and Beyond ~ COVID-19 update:
We are monitoring the current situation in Southern California, and anticipate making a further announcement in mid-April. Until that time, thank you for your support of the Festival, and we send our sincerest concern for everyone’s well-being.
Welcome to the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar: an annual celebration of Baroque music held in Orange County, California.
Our 40th Festival offers five concerts between June 21 and 28, 2020, celebrating this milestone year with music from across Europe, and on themes evoking cultures beyond. We will enjoy the talents of extraordinary musicians playing Baroque instruments, and of singers who are sensitive to historical styles, performing in intimate venues in Corona del Mar and Newport Beach.
Our Festival mission is to present the astounding wealth and diversity of the Baroque era in a wide variety of ways. Large-scale works, with and without singers, are offered on our Sunday concerts, while our three mid-week programs give the opportunity to enjoy smaller scale vocal and chamber performances, all given by the finest musicians in the historically informed Baroque field.
We are proud to be a community festival and welcome you to our community. We offer the chance to socialize with our musicians over “wine and waters” following each of our concerts, and also take pride in our lovely and varied venues, which include the beautiful Sherman Gardens in the heart of Corona del Mar.
In addition to complete program and performer information, our printed program booklet each year features ads from many local businesses. We are enormously grateful to all of them for their generous support.
We look forward to seeing you at our concerts, whether for the hundredth or the very first time.
— Elizabeth Blumenstock, Artistic Director
and the Festival Board of Directors
