Founding music director retires after 52 years

Founding music director retires after 52 years

The founder of Boston Baroque, Martin Pearlman, has decided this will be his last season in charge.

He says: ‘When Boston Baroque started 50-plus years ago, it was at a time when there were no period-instrument orchestras in North America. We started with eight players and no staff. Today, we have an amazing ensemble with a wonderful organization behind it. Working with the musicians, guest soloists, staff and Board over the years, and getting to know our wonderful patrons and donors, has been one of the great privileges of my life. I look forward to the coming season, and to what the future holds for Boston Baroque.’

Pearlman cited a complete Monteverdi opera cycle as the highlight of his half-century.
