To mark this year, the 350th anniversary of the birth of blind Irish harper, Turlough Carolan, we present a programme of music by Carolan and other pieces from the 18th century, as imagined for flute, strings and harpsichord.

This concert, recorded in the wonderfully atmospheric Picture Gallery at Royal Holloway, University of London, was also an opportunity to bring together a group of outstanding Irish musicians with international performing careers who, in common with the rest of our world, find themselves unable to travel. We are particularly touched that we could get these musicians together in London to play and record this Irish music for you.
