| The Period Instrument Orchestra was founded in
early 2007 by Artistic
Director Christine Gevert and Baroque violinist Lisa Rautenberg, the
concertmaster. The ensemble is composed of top professional early music players from
the east coast (New York, Boston, Vermont, and Philadelphia), and occasionally
from farther away.
To
date, the orchestra has principally worked with the
Crescendo Chorus, although the Orchestra
performed one concert on its own in 2007. The largest formation of this
group to date has included 18 musicians.
