As an ambassador for the stories of Ireland’s musical past, the IBO uses its unique perspective to develop the growing store of knowledge surrounding the very early days of Baroque and Classical music in Ireland.

 


“This was another supreme achievement from Whelan’s people, one of the great glories not just of the Irish music scene but of baroque ensembles worldwide; it simply doesn’t get better than this.*****

David Nice, the Arts Desk (November 2025)

Our ambitions are strong, and our vision is bold. 

​Now is the time for the Irish Baroque Orchestra to further develop our offerings and increase our impact - and it’s your support that will make this possible.
