irish baroque orchestra

The Irish Baroque Orchestra is Ireland's only professional period instrument orchestra. Amongst the orchestra's members are some of the most promising young players in the international early music scene. Using either baroque instruments or modern replicas, the orchestra explores the playing techniques and stylistic practices associated with music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and gives Irish audiences the rare and precious opportunity to hear this music in live performances that recreate the vivid colours and textures of the baroque sound world.
