The Irish Baroque Orchestra are considered to be Ireland’s flagship period performance Orchestra. The group performs music from the Baroque era which broadly means music composed between 1600 and 1750. This period includes many of the world’s greatest composers including Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann. Part of what makes their concerts unique is that their musicians perform with original instruments from the period or modern replicas. The Irish Baroque Orchestra will perform Handel’s Messiah at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin on Friday, December 6th. Tickets are priced between €10-€35 and can be purchased on the orchestra’s website www.irishbaroqueorchestra.com
