Our Performers
Singers and instrumentalists alike bring their expertise and flair to the Orange County coast in June, performing the music of the 17th and 18th centuries in historically informed interpretations. You will enjoy the talents of many local performers from the greater L.A. area and San Diego, as well as those of musicians from further afield. There is ample opportunity to hear and explore the wonderful Baroque instruments used by our orchestral players and soloists.

Elizabeth Blumenstock has curated and led Festival performances since 2011, when she succeeded Burton Karson, the Festival’s cofounder and Artistic Director Emeritus.
