About Salem Baroque

Established in 2015, the Salem Bach Festival celebrated the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, his family, and his contemporaries. The festival brought together some of the finest professional period-instrument musicians from across the region and throughout the United States, earning a reputation for performances of exceptional artistry and historical authenticity.

​

Today, Salem Baroque builds on the legacy of the Salem Bach Festival, engaging exclusively professional musicians and maintaining the same high standard of musical excellence while expanding its repertoire beyond Bach and the Baroque canon. Through historically informed performances by these professional artists, Salem Baroque continues to present engaging programs that showcase the richness and diversity of early music for contemporary audiences.
