Celebrating Ireland in Concert! Irish trad musicians, orchestra, choir, classical soloists and narrators pay tribute to the poets and history of Ireland!









Among the bushy spaces The grey rain drowns the wind, Flowing from airy places, Flowing from hills behind Her threshold, hushed in grasses. F.R. Higgins #IrishPoetry

And the crowds at the fair, The herds loosened & blind, Loud words and dark faces, And the wild blood behind. Padraic Colum #IrishPoetry

The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit By the earthed lightening of a flock of swans, Their feathers roughed and ruffling, white on white

And Time bade all his candles flare To light a measure here and there; And may the thoughts of Ireland brood Upon a measured quietude.
