Chatham Baroque 6th Annual Twelfth Night Gala

Over 350 guests arrived at the Frick Art Museum for the 6th Annual Twelfth Night Gala benefiting Chatham Baroque on Saturday, January 8, 2005. An amazing array of silent and live auction items greeted patrons. Performances from Chatham Baroque artists completed the evening.

Chatham Baroque continues to excite audiences with their dazzling technique and artful interpretations. Over the last few seasons, Chatham Baroque has taken concert performances and Art-in-Education programs to Montreal, Mexico City and the British Virgin Islands, as well as to California, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland,Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama. In addition to its concert series and its Peanut Butter & Jam Sessions series for preschoolers, the ensemble performs over a dozen local community outreach performances each year in unlikely venues across the region.

Chatham Baroque has released six best-selling CDa to critical acclaim. The first recording, "The Scotch Humour," and their latest, "Henry Purcell: Sonatas and Theater Music" received five-star ratings from Europe's Goldberg magazine. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reviewer Andrew Druckenbrod says, it is "not only ... Chatham Baroque's best recording effort to date burt also belongs in the ranks of the best early-music discs. "Espanoleta," with guest performers Danny Mallon and Becky Baxter, spent four weeks Amazon.com's top-20 list; the ensemble's fifth and hugely successful "Reel of Tulloch." is a collaboration with world-renowned flutist Chris Norman.

Chatham Baroque is repeatedly listed among the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's "Top 50 Cultural Forces in Pittsburgh.: The P-G recognized "Dido & Aeneas" and "Venus & Adonis," Chatham Baroque's October 2003 collaboration with the Renaissance & Baroque Society, among the Ten Best Classical Performances of 2003.

Building upon the successful collaboration with Pittsburgh Opera Center in 2002, Chatham Baroque served as the instrumental core of a joint production of an earlier opera by Claudio Monteverdi, "Il Ritorn d'Ulisse in Patria (The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland)." It was presented in April 2004 and again as part of the National Performing Arts Convention, that was held in Pittsburgh in June 2004.

In addition to its concert series, children's and community outreach programming and touring, Chatham Baroque is Ensemble-in-Residence at WQED-FM and Calvary Episcopal Church.
