BREAKING - Arresting performance in Kilkenny courthouse

BREAKING - Arresting performance in Kilkenny courthouse

The Irish Baroque Orchestra

Next Saturday at 7.30pm, the Irish Baroque Orchestra (IBO) and Music in Kilkenny are delighted to present ‘BORN IN 1685’ at Kilkenny Courthouse.
It marks the penultimate performance in the Irish Baroque Orchestra’s busy 2018 concert season.
It will be directed by the virtuosic Italian oboist, Alfredo Bernardini.
Alfredo returns to perform with IBO after an extremely successful collaboration in 2014 and is sure to delight audiences in Kilkenny in this wonderful programme.
‘BORN IN 1685’ focuses on a momentous year for music with three master composers all born within that same year - Bach, Handel and Scarlatti.
Alfredo has chosen a beautiful set of works by all three composers to demonstrate the range of colour and tone within the baroque period but also to highlight the immense talents on show within Irish Baroque Orchestra.
Kilkenny resident and regular city performer, Malcolm Proud, will perform JS Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D major, while IBO leader Claire Duff joins forces with Alfredo for Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe. Handel’s ebullient writing for oboe and strings and two of Scarlatti’s spirited string sinfonias also feature.
