Irish Baroque Orchestra: Alexander’s Feast

This “ode with music” is a wonderful work of colour and high drama, played here by world-class artists led by Peter Whelan.

Alexander’s Feast, or the Power of Music – relates the story of how the musician Timotheus sings and plays his lyre, inciting the emotions of emperor Alexander the Great as only music could. A thrilling conclusion to Summer at Snape 2025, fresh from The BBC Proms.

The Irish Baroque Orchestra is celebrated as Ireland’s flagship period-instrument orchestra and delivers top-quality historically-informed performances across Ireland and abroad.
