Foundation and Government Support
National, regional and local foundations and state and local government agencies are investors in Music of the Baroque. In addition to supporting performances, foundations also ensure that Music of the Baroque’s educational outreach program continues to provide exceptional vocal education for high school students who express an interest in musical studies but lack the resources to pursue their aspirations. The Illinois Arts Council and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs are MOB’s generous and long-time public partners.
