BabyLovesMusic

BabyLovesMusic is an informal concert for babies aged 0-12 months created in collaboration with Lead Artist Eamon Sweeney and musicians Tim Doyle & Kate Hearne with musical arrangements by Irish Chamber Orchestra’s Malachy Robinson.

An eclectic musical journey with a distinctly Irish feel, BabyLovesMusic features a whole host of instruments including baroque guitar, cello, accordion, fiddle, uilleann pipes, treble recorder and lots more.

2024 sees the development of NIGHTLIGHT – a brand new baby project from the BabyLovesMusic creative team, touring across Ireland to venues and festivals. For audiences of babies aged 0-12 months and their adults.

Thanks to Arts Council of Ireland Touring funding, BabyLovesMusic toured across Ireland once again in 2025 and will out and about again in summer 2026!

my baby was transfixed!

my son was so engaged and full of wonderment at each new instrument and sound

beautifully put together

We loved the calm atmosphere in the room, the layout of the space, the movement, the stopping to make eye contact with babies
