Historical Harp Society of Ireland Concert

Gala Concert: Masters of Irish Music

This concert—in the setting of the medieval tower of Kilkenny Castle—is a rare gathering of some of the world’s leading performers on early Irish harp and pipes, together with a prize-winning sean-nós [‘old style’] singer, in a programme of evocative and lively instrumental music, solo singing, and harp songs, some of which have only recently been unearthed, and reconstructed, after several hundred years of being lost to the living tradition.

Concerts take place live in Kilkenny. A video of each concert will be available to ticket holders as soon as possible after each concert takes place. N.B. Concerts will not be live-streamed.
