Our relationship has been mutually beneficial for three years and Chatham Baroque looks forward to expanding it this year. But, Chatham Baroque has outgrown its current quarters. Early in September Chatham Baroque will begin the process of strategic planning. The ensemble and the organization have succeeded beyond expectations. The time has come to reflect momentarily on the past and to plan and prepare seriously for five years into the future.
Transitions are always laden with excitement and apprehension.
We are feeling both emotions at once. The most salient quality of this organization that I have observed through my first six months as Managing Director is Chatham Baroque's consistent dedication to serving its audience and its community and to performing at the highest level. Our transitions won't alter our dedication to you. This repertoire was first unveiled to enthusiastic audiences in Pittsburgh during our series concerts last February. The prospect of recording it was both exciting and terrifying.
