About the Performers

Now in their fifth season, the Victoria Baroque Players present high-quality, high-energy, and engaging performances of baroque music. Playing on the instruments of the 18th century, the historically-informed ensemble brings audiences closer to the sound world of the period, embracing the dance-driven rhythmic vitality, as well as the lyrical and conversational aspect of the baroque music. The core members are Vancouver Island residents and early music specialists with extensive performance experience in Canada and abroad.

VBP’s collaborations with the local choir St John’s Chamber Singers have brought about many dynamic performances of baroque masterpieces, including Bach’s legendary St John Passion and Handel's Dixit Dominus. The VBP’s début CD Virtuosi of the Baroque, on Marquis Classics, was released in November 2014, and was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award.
