Directions to St Giles church can be found here About Baroque & Beyond Baroque & Beyond is a project initiative of Baroque In The North, a Manchester-based, performing arts charity specialising in music from 16th-18th centuries, played on period instruments. This concert series has been generously supported by Continuo Foundation. Baroque In The North formed in 2003, initially as a chamber ensemble (Northern Baroque). Over the years their success led to requests for them to provide music for choirs and so Baroque In The North developed the flexibility that enables them to perform small- and large-scale choral works by composers such as Bach, Handel, Purcell and Vivaldi. Since 2018 they have developed several new strategies in line with their charitable aims of accessibility and knowledge exchange. These include Music in Schools (access to and participation in live music-making for KS2 children) and Come and Play! days for Music Teachers, amateurs, students and young people. Their Baroque & Beyond Summer concert series (aimed at improving access to live music for all) will take place in venues across Derbyshire in 2022. This concert series has been generously supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation. Across their programmes, Baroque In The North is committed to offering professional work experience and further training opportunities to early career performers, most of whom have completed their education in the North West. For further information, or to join their mailing list go to their website baroqueinthenorth.com. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
