Music for a While

“Music for a while shall all your cares beguile.” - Henry Purcell

Cork Baroque Players share favourite pieces of music from the finest composers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Leave the present day and all your cares at the door and enter a world where music could keep the world spinning, maintain the harmony of the spheres. Composers in this period believed in the power of music for the mind and emotions, bringing release and soothing. Join Cork Baroque Players as they share favourite pieces from the past which hold their power today. 

Made up of some of Cork’s finest specialists in historically-informed music, the Cork Baroque Players bring the music of centuries past to vibrant life in the present day.
