Le Foyer des Artistes is a Northern Ireland-based ensemble, bringing together period-instrument musicians from across the world, founded by conductor Darren Hargan.

In addition to presenting a unique Concert Series at St Columb’s Hall in Derry City, Le Foyer des Artistes is committed to developing audiences for early music in an area with little provision in classical music.

The ensemble also provides opportunities for professional skills development because we are passionate about nurturing future generations of creative people and supporting talented emerging artists.

We are driven by the belief in genuine cultural engagement with people of all ages through art and music. Creative innovation enables us to make culture together and share extraordinary music with the entire community.
