IYBO Summer Concert 2023:

Some of Ireland’s finest young string, wind, and harpsichord musicians have been selected to play in this year’s IYBO – a week-long music course where young musicians with a penchant for historical performance practice can hone their talents under the guidance of Director Claire Duff and other baroque specialists from the Irish Baroque Orchestra. The course will this year culminate in a concert ‘Brilliant Baroque Concerti’ taking place in St Ann’s Church, Dawson Street, Dublin on Saturday, 22 July 2023.

The programme for the 2023 concert is a celebration of the baroque concerto in all its glorious forms, including music by Vivaldi, Handel and Telemann.

Tickets are €15 / €10 concessions and will be available on the door of the venue.
