Gaudete Baroque Ensemble seeks to bring joy and stylistic
expression to a wide variety of Baroque chamber music. The
ensemble pursues authenticity through the use of Baroque bows
and period instruments, with the primary goal to communicate
the message of the music with truth and beauty. The group’s wide
range of repertoire, from music of the royal courts to rustic peasant
dances, reflects the cultures, traditions, and various national styles
of the Baroque era.

The ensemble is based at the Church of the Transfiguration
in Orleans, MA, where they participate regularly in worship
services as well as public performances that are both in person
and livestreamed. Members participate in masterclasses, and
teach young people in summer programs at the Performing Arts
Building in Brewster, MA. Gaudete means “rejoice,” and that is the
mission of the group: rejoicing in the love of Christ and sharing
His love with others through the joy of Baroque music.
