Artist Info: Puirt A Baroque

The name "Puirt a Baroque" is a play on puirt a beul, Scottish Gaelic for mouth-music. So, Puirt a baroque means "tunes from the baroque". The group played crossover arrangements of Scottish traditional music and Baroque art music.

Puirt a Baroque's repertoire includes works by major art-music composers, lesser-known Scottish art-music and traditional-style composers, and 20th-century Cape Breton composers. The group's innovative crossover pieces blended these musical styles affectionately, with respect for the integrity of each. [read more...]
