Education
At Portland Baroque Orchestra, we believe that Baroque music comes alive when it’s shared through performance, conversation, and learning. Our musicians are world-class performers and passionate educators who bring centuries-old music into vibrant, contemporary dialogue. Whether through pre-concert talks, school visits, or behind-the-scenes insights on YouTube and social media, we create opportunities for audiences of all ages to connect more deeply with historically inspired music. Guided by our values of Access + Inclusion and Education + Engagement, we craft experiences that invite curiosity, spark joy, and build community within and beyond the concert hall.
