About Musica Pacifica
Musica Pacifica has, since its founding in 1990, become widely recognized as one of America’s premier baroque ensembles, lauded for both the dazzling virtuosity and the warm expressiveness of its performances. They have been described by the press as “some of the finest baroque musicians in America” (American Record Guide) and “among the best in the world” (Alte Musik Aktuell). In the Bay Area, the artists perform with Philharmonia Baroque, American Bach Soloists, Berkeley Early Music Festival, and appear with many other prominent early music ensembles nationally and abroad. Recent performances include Music Before 1800 and the Frick Collection (NY); the Gejy Museum (Los Angeles); the Cleveland Art Museum; the Pittsburgh Renaissance and Baroque Society; the Seattle Early Music Guild; the Houston Early Music Society; and the LA County Museum.
