The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey was founded in 1996 with music of the 17^th and 18^th century at its core.  The group performs a variety of genres from concertos to symphonies to operas.  Under the auspices of its Pearl and Julius Young Music Competition, the organization has nurtured the talent of many promising young musicians.  Under the guidance of its Artistic Director Maestro Butts, the orchestra’s repertoire has expanded to include 20^th century and modern pieces by the likes of Joaquin Rodrigo.
