Harps for Heritage: Sharing the Tunes at Muckross

Experience Irish music and dance live and take part in a fun and family-friendly afternoon with Irish harpers and their friends. Join Cruit Éireann|Harp Ireland in the beautiful surroundings of Muckross Schoolhouse. Try your hand at playing the harp - no experience needed and all are welcome! Hear tips of the trade from harpmaker Tim O’Carroll and listen to harpers, pipers and whistle players as they share stories about their earliest musical memories - how they learned, how tunes are passed down from generation to generation and how musicians make them their own. The afternoon finishes with a concert from Ireland’s finest harpers and musicians, including Irish harpers Kathleen Loughnane, Catríona Cannon and Deirdre Granville with Cormac Cannon (uilleann pipes), Aoife Granville (flute), Seán Ryan (whistle) and Caitríona Finnegan (cello).
