Ensemble REVELARE, formed in 2018, brings together four musicians with a passion for baroque music and expertise in historically informed performance. The ensemble presents works by seventeenth and eighteenth-century composers, both familiar and lesser-known, many of whom have a connection to Ireland. Repertoire includes vocal and instrumental music, exploring various tonal colours of the group, all with a keen awareness of historically inspired performance on period instruments. Recent performances include Kaleidoscope Night in Bello Bar, a concert at the newly restored City Assembly House and a sold out concert in Dublin’s Drawing Room Series. Highlights this autumn include concerts at Clifden Arts Festival, Shorelines Arts Festival and Castletown House.
