See the Concert Diary for details of the English Baroque weekend of concerts, recitals, film and talks at Dartington on Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March. Places are still available for the whole weekend and tickets are now available for the individual concerts.

Devon Baroque announces that Margaret Faultless has decided to stand down at the end of March as its Leader and Artistic Director after twelve years in these roles. During this time she has brought the orchestra to its present high standard and reputation. The March weekend will be her last appearance with the orchestra for a while but she has agreed to act as Guest Director.

The Trustees, Committee and players wish to acknowledge the time, energy and inspiration which Margaret has brought to Devon Baroque over the years. They intend to build on this by continuing the work of the orchestra under a new Artistic Director. An announcement will be made about plans for the next few years on this website when current discussions are completed.
