Portland Baroque Orchestra is a performing arts organization based in Portland, Oregon, focused on intimate, historically informed interpretations of music composed before 1840. Its programs aim to reveal the context and lineage of early works for a broad audience through professional concerts. In addition to performances, the company conducts outreach and dialogue to broaden access and deepen understanding of the composers and their historical settings. It operates as a small to mid-sized ensemble within the performing arts sector, emphasizing its specialization in early music and local engagement. In late 2022 the organization announced a leadership transition with the appointment of Julian Perkins as artistic director, succeeding Monica Huggett. Earlier, in 2021, Jasmine departed from the organization in the role of Patron Services Coordinator.
