Portland Baroque Orchestra
Founded in 1984, Portland Baroque Orchestra (PBO) is one of the oldest period performance orchestras in the United States. PBO specializes in works of the Baroque and Classical eras, but also explores the musical world outside of those time constraints, performing with period instruments or replicas of instruments that were available when the music was composed. This means that our concerts feature familiar instruments that may look or sound a little different (for example, violins with gut strings or flutes made of wood and bone) as well as instruments that are no longer a part of the modern orchestra (like the theorbo). The orchestra thrives on spontaneity, playfulness, and extraordinary artistry. PBO seeks to recreate the soundscapes of history by presenting the highest level of music performance in intimate venues.
