Overview
Mission
The exempt purposes of burlington baroque are charitable and educational. The goals are to celebrate and foster appreciation for music of the 17th- 19th centuries by presenting audiences with historically-informed performances on the period instruments for which the music was written, and the support of related activities consistent with these goals. The primary activity of burlington baroque directly furthers these goals by presenting concerts meeting these criteria, a spring concert for the lenten season, a four day baroque festival in early fall in burlington, vt, and a series of messiah concerts in december presented in burlington, vt and surrounding cities. Secondary activities, such as educational materials and pre-concert lectures, will also further these goals.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization presented eight (8) baroque concerts in 2025 with approximately seventeen hundred (1700) people attending the concerts.
