Vision

To become a top performing organization in the Boston area for historically informed performance, with an emphasis on the English Baroque.

Mission

To advance the practices of the syles of the English Baroque, and general Baroque style through performance, scholarship, and research. Using the texts, conventions, and styles of the period, we seek to collaborate with other arts organizations to celebrate the rich repertoire of this era and to make it relevant for today’s audiences.

On Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The HPSOB is a community of audiences and performing artists who celebrate and accept unique identities, varied backgrounds, and the experiences of all individuals. We are actively seeking ways to ensure that all voices and instruments are heard in an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all. Please visit this anti-racist website to understand how you can join the fight against institutionalized racism. If you are a musician who wants to do anti-racist work in the field of Baroque music, please email us at contact@BostonPurcell.org.
