Ensemble Revelare, formed in 2018, brings together four musicians with a passion for baroque music and expertise in historical performance. Aisling Kenny - Soprano, Theresa Burton – Recorder, Rachel Factor – Harpsichord, and Margaret Doris- Cello. 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 informed performance on period instruments. The ensemble recently performed at The Irish Georgian Society in Dublin; forthcoming engagements include Kaleidoscope Night and @TheDrawingRoom Series in Dublin.
