Baroque Chorus And Orchestra Tickets

Baroque Chorus And Orchestra (MOB) is a major Chicago-area ensemble dedicated to the vivid, authentic performance of 17th–18th century repertoire. Since its founding in 1972, MOB has built a reputation for insightful programming, expert period-informed interpretation, and compelling concert experiences. Led by Music Director Dame Jane Glover and Chorus Director Andrew Megill (since 2022), MOB continues to bring the baroque era to life for audiences across the Chicago region and beyond.

With a robust schedule that includes large-scale choral-orchestral works, intimate oratorio performances, and outdoor city-wide events like the Chicago Water Music, MOB blends historical fidelity with engaging, accessible programming. The ensemble’s performances frequently broadcast on WFMT (98.7 FM) and are shared through a vibrant YouTube presence, inviting listeners to experience baroque mastery from multiple angles.

Upcoming MOB highlights for the 2025–2026 season include Baroque Blockbusters, Vivaldi & Friends, Celestial Voices, Fathers & Sons, and Handel’s Messiah, with performances slated at Harris Theater in Chicago and the North Shore Center in Skokie. In addition to studio recordings, MOB has released notable discs such as Handel’s Jephtha (Reference Recordings, 2024) and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio (Music of the Baroque, 2024).
