Tradroque

Hawk's Well Theatre and Sligo Baroque Festival present Tradroque - a juxtaposition of Irish traditional and baroque music traditions featuring Sligo Baroque Orchestra and an ensemble of traditional musicians including Michael Rooney on harp, Liam Kelly on flute, Leonard Barry on pipes and Seamie O'Dowd on guitar.
This specially commissioned collaborative concert explores the musical links between Europe and Ireland over the last few centuries. Sligo Baroque Orchestra is markedly inclusive, involving professional musicians as well as amateur and student instrumentalists all from very different musical backgrounds. The selection of traditional musicians who will join them are all highly accomplished in their individual fields and together this assembly promise a freewheeling, pulse-quickening, constantly surprising fusion of Irish and Baroque sounds.
