| From its beginnings in a Hyde Park church in 1972, this ensemble has become the largest American professional baroque chorus and orchestra, aquainting today's audiences with the choral and orchestra works of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries (many of them, amazingly, Chicago premieres). The first professional chorus to have its own regular nationally syndicated radio series (broadcast over the WFMT Fine Arts Network and heard on the BBC, CBC, and European Broadcast Union), they've performed at Lincoln Center, the White House, the Library of Congress, and Ravinia, and perform a series of nearly 30 local concerts annually in several of the Chicagoland area's significant sanctuaries. Jane Glover heads as Music Director and Nicholas Kraemer as Principal Guest Conductor. A number of the group's soloists (including Isola Jones, Judith Nelson, Judith Malafronte, Sharon Powell, William Wahman, Arthur Berg, Richard Versalle, Barbara Pearson, Linda Mabbs, Everett Zlatoff-Mirsky, Ray Still, Adolf Hirseth, and Grover Schiltz, were already well-known and/or headed for successful careers in opera or orchestra. The ensemble's recordings include Mozart's "Great" Mass in C Minor, Telemann's Day of Judgement, and Monteverdi's Vespers of the Blessed Virgin (the latter two both 2 CD sets).
