The Pittsburgh Historical Music Society endeavors to bring a vibrant historical music experience to life, transporting our audiences into the past. We join music and history within our various ensembles: The PHMS Baroque Orchestra, The Wayward Companions, Genteel Society, & Celtic Spirit. The musicians dress in historical attire to recreate a sense of returning to days of old in an immersive way.
The PHMS Baroque Orchestra evokes the music and elegance of the parlors and courts of the baroque period in a vibrant and engaging manner.
The Wayward Companions will take you on a journey back to the taverns, emcampments, and gatherings of the past with popular music of the 17th through the 19th centuries.
Genteel Society strikes the chord to enliven the feet of English Country Dancers at Balls, formal and informal, throughout the area.
Celtic Spirit is a harp and vocal duo which plays airs and ancient ballads evoking the mystical within historic music.
We would be delighted for you to attend our ongoing events throughout the year!
