Announcing the launch of our 2010-2011 season
Much of the music you can hear the Irish Baroque Orchestra perform this season is around 300 years old. But its ability to make us feel the core human emotions of joy, sorrow, amazement, tenderness, and even passion, is as vivid as when it was first performed in the courts of 18th century Europe.
With masterpieces by big-hitters like Bach, Haydn and Vivaldi to choose from, alongside more unusual gems to discover, we're sure you'll find something that sets your pulse racing. So sit down, relax, look, peruse, read and select. But most importantly: Listen. Be moved.
