Some of Ireland’s most celebrated musicians in Traditional, Classical, and Early Music join forces with award-winning visual artists to present Ceol Ársa Cláirsí — a concert experience that is both musically and visually immersive.

This unique event showcases Irish harp music by composers such as Turlough Carolan, Thomas Connellan, and Ruairí Dall Ó Catháin, with historically informed arrangements drawn from original Irish and Scottish sources.  Audiences will experience the rich sounds of gut-and wire-strung instruments of the period blended seamlessly with traditional instruments and, of course, the Irish harp.

Accompanied by striking and atmospheric video imagery, this concert is a true feast for the senses.
