The famous English painter Thomas Gainsborough had a passion for music and many significant composers sat for portraits by him – including Ignatius Sancho, Carl Friedrich Abel, Felice de Giardini, Rudolf Straube, Johann Christian Fischer, and J.C. Bach – leaving behind not only their portraits but also a treasure trove of musical delights. Come hear their music performed live, on period instruments, in a wonderfully unique program.

About Parish House Baroque
Parish House Baroque draws upon varied historical sources of performance practice from the Renaissance through the early Classical period and uses them to inform our interpretations, bringing the music to life.

We strive to expand the community of people who experience and love early music performances and foster a new generation of audiences through engaging performances, outreach, and dialogue. With a core formation of baroque violin, recorders, baroque cello, and harpsichord/organ, Parish House Baroque continues to strengthen our reputation for highly expressive performances and compelling programming.
