Shrewsbury Baroque Orchestra
The Shrewsbury Baroque Orchestra was founded in 2026 by baroque violinist Conor Gricmanis. The ensemble is dedicated to presenting historically informed performances of Baroque and Early Music within the historic rural county of Shropshire and across its neighbouring regions, including Powys, Cheshire, Herefordshire, and the West Midlands.
The orchestra is conceived as a flexible collective, expanding or contracting in size according to the demands of the repertoire, and actively engaging musicians who live in or originate from these local counties.
2026 marks our inaugural season, and we are delighted to be developing an ambitious programme of concerts and projects that will bring this rich musical heritage to audiences across the region.
