    Mercury Baroque explores 17th and 18th century music from a variety of cultures. Using period instruments, historically informed performance methods and imaginative programming, the highly accomplished musicians of the ensemble bring the passion of Baroque music to life with an uncompromising attention to quality.

    The result is dynamic performances that educate as well as entertain, bringing to life Mercury’s motto: “Experience the Passion of Baroque Music.

    UPDATE MARCH 2012: Mercury Baroque Is Now Mercury - The Orchestra Redefined

    As Mercury Baroque has grown, we have loved sharing the passion of music with you. With each concert, our orchestra has felt closer to each other and to you, our audience. And we are grateful for the support you have shown us with your gifts and your attendance. Now, we’d like to take you with us as we expand our musical world, to include not only music from the Baroque but also from other periods. While we will still maintain our tradition of bringing Baroque music to life, we would also like to bring you music from Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert, to name a few. We believe this is a natural way for us to grow. Ironically, though, to expand, we will have to shrink:

    • Not our intimate, passion-filled performances.
    • Not our exciting educational programs.
    • Not our world class music on period instruments.
    • Not our commitment to the arts community in Houston.
    • Just our name.

    Like many other musicians, we are dropping our last name. Our name will now be just Mercury. We will continue redefining the orchestra in everything we do. Stay tuned as we unfold the look that goes with our new name. We look forward to seeing you as we celebrate season after season of amazing music.
