    Programme

    Overview

    The international standing of Ireland’s leading period-music ensemble is steadily on the rise, most recently with a 2022 Olivier Award for its participation in a production of Vivaldi’s Bajazet at the Linbury Theatre. Its performances of Handel’s choral masterpiece written for Dublin are regular highlights.

    The artists are kindly supported by Isabella de Sabata and Culture Ireland - promoting Irish arts worldwide. The Irish Baroque Orchestra receives principal funding from Arts Council Ireland/An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
