Apothiki 79, Larnaka 6020
From the Gregorian Chants of Irish Monks at Glenstal Abbey in Ireland to the blind Irish harpist Turlough O’ Carolan’s composition of Carolan’s Concerto to the music of modern Irish artists such as Enya and Bono, the history of Irish music has yielded a wealth of repertoires and songs over the centuries that is abundantly rich. The development of unique Irish musical instruments such as the Brian Boro Harp and the Bodhrán were central to early musical compositions and continue to hold a key place in the performance of many traditional works today. The island of Ireland has also produced world-renowned Opera singers including Soprano Celine Byrne. Even Handle’s Messiah received its world premiere in Fishamble Street, Dublin in 1742 and to this day is celebrated with a full Choral performance every springtime at the location of the Great Hall in Dublin.
This St. Patricks Weekend 2023 on Saturday 18th March 2023, come join a vibrant panel of guests and top class instrumentalists including Premiere Folk Music Violinist Pavlos Michaelides, Classical Harpist Anna Kulikova and Flautist and Tin Whistle expert Dave Mllgate.
