ABOUT PBOC

This role presents an opportunity to work within the collaborative team at Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale (PBOC) to take some of the highest quality performances of Baroque and Classical music to the widest possible audience. PBOC musicians use instruments and techniques from the period the music was composed to bring it alive for today’s audiences – like taking the dirt off an Old Master painting to reveal its color and energy as new.

PBOC delivers our music with an outstretched hand that opens musical doors, showcasing a range of repertoire and concert formats. While rooted in tradition, we also illuminate brand new musical innovation, featuring vanguard artists and composers. We invite audiences to experience classical music in an encouraging and explorative environment with affordable tickets and more relaxed off-season events.
