Irish Youth Baroque Orchestra Concerts in Cork and Dublin
The Irish Youth Baroque Orchestra presents ‘The Harmony of Nations’ concerts this August.
The IYBO returns in 2025 with a programme celebrating the diverse styles which emerged in 18th century Europe. From the opulence of the French Baroque to the energy of the Italian, crowned with Muffat’s ‘Passacaglia’, this programme is a European tour in musical form, presented by the talented and energetic musicians of the Irish Youth Baroque Orchestra.
M. Marais Quatrieme suite, Airs pour les matelots et les tritons
Corelli – Concerto Grosso no.4 in D major, Op.6
Handel Concerto Grosso in B flat major, Op.3 no.2 HWV 313
Muffat, ‘Passacaglia’ from Sonata V, Armonico Tributo
The IYBO course 2025 will now be directed by Bojan Čičić. As one of the rising stars of the world of period performance, Bojan Čičić is fast making a name for himself with his sensitive and virtuosic playing. He is regularly invited to lead both period and modern orchestras, including groups such as the Budapest Festival Orchestra, le Cercle d’Harmonie, the European Union Baroque Orchestra. As well as being the leader of Florilegium and La Nuova Musica, Bojan recently appeared as a soloist and music director in several programmes with the Academy of Ancient Music, Camerata Kilkenny and Croatian Baroque Ensemble.
We look forward to welcoming Claire Duff back as Director of the IYBO in 2026.
