Musicians of the Old Post Road

**Musicians of the Old Post Road** is a vibrant ensemble bringing Baroque and Classical gems to life through historically informed performances. Founded in 2009 and based in New England, this group takes its name from the historic Boston-to-New York mail route, often performing in venues along its path. Their mission? Dust off underappreciated 17th- and 18th-century works with scholarly flair and playful energy. Think period instruments, quirky program themes, and a knack for spotlighting composers who deserve more airtime (looking at you, Telemann and Hummel).

Recent releases like *Earthly Baroque* and *Pla: Galant With An Attitude* showcase their eclectic taste, blending big names like Handel with lesser-known figures. They even spice up holiday playlists—their *Feliz Navidad* album reimagines festive classics with Baroque instruments. Whether unearthing Scottish folk adaptations or galant-era quartets, these musicians pair technical precision with a warm, approachable vibe, making centuries-old music feel fresh and fun.
