LABCO seeks to revive and celebrate Baroque music through authentic, historically-informed performances. The project aims to develop a vibrant Baroque chamber orchestra engaging diverse musicians of various ages and backgrounds. We prioritize musical excellence, community involvement, and education, creating an accessible platform for learning and appreciation of Baroque music with expressive interpretation and period-informed style.

Presented with the important support of the New Orleans Theatre Cultural Foundation (NOTCF), this performance at the New Marigny Theatre invites audiences to experience Baroque music in a vibrant, historically-informed style under the direction of Riccardo Leónida.
