Im fünften Jahrzehnt seines Bestehens ist Music of the Baroque eines der führenden professionellen Ensembles in Amerika, das sich den Werken des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts widmet. Die Chicago Sun-Times schrieb: „Die Lyric Opera of Chicago und das Chicago Symphony Orchestra mögen die Großen der lokalen Klassikszene sein, aber was die Qualität der Darbietung angeht... bewegt sich Music of the Baroque in derselben Stratosphäre.“

Die renommierte britische Dirigentin Jane Glover, die anlässlich der Neujahrsfeierlichkeiten 2021 zur Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire ernannt wurde, ist seit 2002 Musikdirektorin von Music of the Baroque.
