At Herbst Theatre, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale brings music to life on period instruments—gut strings, wooden flutes, and valveless brass—and in the style of the time, creating a sound that's close to what audiences would have heard when this music was new.
The 2026/27 season marks the arrival of Peter Whelan as Music Director, beginning with a special summer project, a semi-staged production of Handel's Tolomeo, featuring a star-studded cast led by countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen. The main subscription concert series opens in the fall with Alexander's Feast, following Whelan's acclaimed appearances at the 2025 BBC Proms with the Irish Baroque Orchestra.
Explore the full season and find the program that speaks to you. Adult price single tickets start at $40 ($20 for Under 30s!), or choose 3, 4, or 5 concerts and subscribe for the best prices, added flexibility, and early access to high-demand performances.
We look forward to welcoming you in San Francisco this season!
