The English Concert in America (TECA)
Advancing the Legacy of Early Music
The English Concert in America (TECA), a nonprofit organization founded in 2009, is dedicated to promoting the performance and appreciation of Baroque and classical music across the United States. Through its close partnership with The English Concert—one of the world’s leading chamber orchestras, directed by internationally acclaimed conductor Harry Bicket OBE—TECA brings historically informed performances to American audiences and supports the next generation of exceptional early music artists.
Baroque at its Best
In conjunction with The English Concert’s annual U.S. tours, TECA organizes additional concerts with Maestro Bicket, The English Concert players, and The English Concert in America Fellows to share with audiences inspiring performances of early music. Past events have included concerts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New-York Historical Society, Carnegie Hall and Neue Galerie New York.
