It has been a busy year in 2013 so far for Eboracum Baroque and the fun doesn't end yet! After performances in Cambridge and London during March, the attention now turns to our exciting summer programme.

On Saturday 15th June in the Treasurer's House Garden, York, we will be performing Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and John Blow's Venus and Adonis, the opera that influenced Purcell and his great composition. This will be an outdoor production in association with the National Trust and more information can be found on the events page.

Our next performance of Purcell's classic will take place from 8th-10th August as part of the Grimeborn Opera Festival in London.

This summer's music is heavily based around Purcell and we will be revisiting Edinburgh to perform in Canongate Kirk on Saturday 17th August. The concert, concludes our Dido and Aeneas tour for 2013 and also features an exciting work by the same composer. Bonduca was composed in the final year of Purcell's life and tells the story of Boudicca, the Celtic queen who led a revolt against the Romans.

We will also be performing in Old St Paul's Church, Edinburgh on 15th August as part of the Hot Chocolate Series. Repertoire includes music for two natural trumpets featuring Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Trumpets, RV 537. Trumpets: Chris Parsons and Brendan Musk

With an excellent chorus, their ensemble singing is very tightly together, with a lovely balance, spot-on intonation and strong delivery....Making innovative use of such a small space, the choreography is simple yet effective.... ******* - The Herald

An excellent effort from this group of performers, many of whom show considerable musical talent and potential...this is an enjoyable introduction to the world of early opera by a company who will surely go a long way in the future. ******** - edfringe.com
Simply presented there wasn't a weakness, with the chorus particularly outstanding...This was a pleasantly intimate and rewarding account of Purcell's opera. **** - Opera Scotland
