UK Friends of the IBO
The Irish Baroque Orchestra represents Ireland on stages across the globe, capturing the imagination of audiences with our unique voice rooted in Ireland’s own heritage.
​
We will be celebrating 30 years in 2026 and during these years we have defined the agenda for historical performance in Ireland:
​
-
Developing more ambitious musical projects
-
Offering a greater range of opportunities to engage audiences, students and children in Ireland
-
Positioning the IBO as proud representative of Ireland on the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Royal Opera House and now the BBC Proms.
Education and social inclusion have become central to our work, with over 1,000 children set to enjoy interactive musical experiences with the IBO this year.
