Join us in celebrating Maestro Peter Whelan as he embarks on his inaugural season as Philharmonia Baroque’s fourth Music Director.
This special evening honors the beginning of Whelan’s tenure with Philharmonia Baroque, building on 45 years of artistic excellence while reaffirming the ensemble’s commitment to masterworks and artistic discovery.
The Philharmonia Baroque Gala is a benefit for Philharmonia Baroque’s artistic and community engagement and learning programs with the goal of advancing the enjoyment of Baroque music in the Bay Area and beyond. Throughout its 45 year existence, the ensemble has inspired audiences from around the world with traditional and innovative Baroque and Classical music programs in the form of concerts and auxiliary programs and events.
Proceeds from Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale’s Gala support the musicians, performances, and community engagement & learning programs, ensuring the continuation of its mission to present and preserve early music with period instruments. Each gift is tax-deductible.
