Each December, Music of the Baroque brings a beloved tradition to Chicago-area audiences: its Holiday Brass & Choral Concerts . This year, the 2025‑2026 season, the program takes on new energy under the baton of guest conductor Nicholas Kraemer .

With a mix of voices and brass, the concerts promise a rich tapestry of sacred and celebratory music, ranging from medieval plainsong to Renaissance polyphony and Baroque fanfares, composed by masters such as Giovanni Gabrieli, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Josquin des Prez, Michael Praetorius, and others. These concerts are part of the ensemble’s 55th season, a milestone reflecting decades of commitment to bringing early music to Chicago.
