English term
with a repertoire ranging from Baroque to the Avant-garde
English
Art/Literary
Advertising / Public Relations
I am having trouble figuring out whether Baroque needs an article. And whether the two should be capitalized. The sentence is from a short (page long) biography of a musician.
Thanks for your thoughts...

Baroque - NO to article, YES to capitalization; avantgarde - NO to capitalization
You can capitalize the latter (some people do), but there's really no need to. Thus:
... from Baroque to the avant-garde

By the way, a good way of going about this is Googling the terms in question and checking out their usage (looking at reliable sources, of course). If you do that here, you'll notice that Baroque is always capped, while avant-garde isn't when used mid-sentence, etc.

with a repertoire ranging from baroque to avant-garde
based on what I found:
baroque can be found in small caps too (musical sources).
I also suggest to omit "the" for both (as in "baroque to avant-garde")
