Sligo Baroque Orchestra together with students of Sligo Academy of Music present works including Geminiani’s The Enchanted Forest.
Sligo Baroque Music Festival began life in 1995, founded by Rod Alston with the Sligo Early Music Ensemble. It has become a well-established highlight in the cultural calendar of Sligo and the north-west of Ireland, taking place on the last weekend of September each year.
The festival aims to present high quality performance of baroque music in a friendly and informal context, and featuring a mix of Irish and international performers - some with an established international reputation, others at an early stage of their careers. The development of young musicians is a key focus in the programme every year.
