Welcome!

WELCOME  •  2005 SEASON OVERVIEW  •  ABOUT CORONA DEL MAR

Welcome to the website of the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar, California. Founded in 1981, the Festival will celebrate its 25th season this year with five concerts over eight days, June 19-26, 2005.

As usual, three of the concerts take place in the beautiful church of Saint Michael & All Angels, with the other two in the magnificent Sherman Library & Gardens, where each performance is preceded by live brass music al fresco while concert-goers enjoy strolling through the gardens. Audience and artists mingle at coffee and wine receptions after each performance.

In 2004, the village of Corona del Mar — part of the city of Newport Beach — celebrated its centennial. We invite you to explore this lovely and historic oceanside community, and to join us in a summer’s week of memorable music.
