Irish Baroque Orchestra

The Irish Baroque Orchestra: 2022 Olivier Award Winners for 'Outstanding Achievement in Opera'
 
The Irish Baroque Orchestra is acclaimed as Ireland's flagship period music ensemble and delivers historically-informed performances to the highest standards across Ireland and abroad. Under the artistic direction of Peter Whelan, scholarship and musical excellence converge in a unique way through the IBO’s work. This creates an original offering like no other organisation on the Irish classical music scene. Through this integration of research and practice the very idea of an orchestra is defined afresh, providing an unusual and enriching experience for today’s audiences. 
 

The Irish Baroque Orchestra is generously funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. It also receives financial support from Culture Ireland. The IBO is resident at the National Concert Hall, Dublin and as of 2021 is an ensemble member of REMA (European Early Music Network).
