Founded in 2011 by Artistic Director Emerita Evanne Browne, Seicento Baroque Ensemble is a semi-professional auditioned chamber choir noted for its performances of lesser-known music of the 17th and 18th century, using historically informed performance practices and period instruments. With its primary emphasis on music of the Baroque period, the ensemble occupies a unique niche in the Colorado choral music scene.
Our concerts are performed with vocal soloists as well as musicians on Baroque strings, violas da gamba, harpsichord, recorders, sackbuts, baroque flute and oboe, all of whom specialize in historic performance. Our concerts and pre-concert talks offer a more in-depth look at the highlighted composers and instruments, and incorporate creative connections such as Baroque artwork and history.
As the only early music vocal ensemble in Colorado, Seicento prides itself on the excellence and artistry of its performances and its performers. |

The mission of Seicento Baroque Ensemble is to inspire and educate through familiar and lesser-known early music that is performed at the highest artistic level, using historical performance practice and period instruments, and providing unforgettable choral experiences for both performers and audiences. |
