El Paso Barroco - Cuarteto Antiguo

  • 2640 Space 2640 Saint Paul Street Baltimore, MD, 21218 United States (map)

Drawing on the talent of musicians from the El Paso, Texas / Ciudad Juárez border and around the world, El Paso Barroco (EPB) is a conductor-less collective of musicians dedicated to historically informed performance. Comprising three ensembles: a Baroque orchestra, a viola da gamba consort, and a period string quartet, EPB fosters early music through variety and community engagement.

EPB was founded by brothers Alberto and Octavio Macías Meléndez in an effort to offer musicians opportunities to perform on replicas of period instruments, bringing history to life through sound while fostering a binational musical community. EPB's mission is to provide the El Paso TX / Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, community with immersive and historically informed experiences that introduce students, musicians, and audiences to the Baroque and beyond.

Since its founding in 2017, EPB has collaborated with partners such as the El Paso Museum of Art, Paso del Sur, the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, the University of New Mexico, the University of Arizona, the institute of Mexican Culture in Washington D.C. and the Johns Hopkins University

For this concert, 4+ Guitarra, guitarist Edgar Camargo will be performing with members of EPB.
