The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey was founded in 1996 with music
of the 17th and 18th 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 20th
century and modern pieces by the likes of Joaquin Rodrigo.
