Our third Limerick Early Music Festival closes with a very special concert of music and poetry featuring some of Ireland’s most respected musicians in Traditional Irish and Early Music styles. The evening’s music will consist of beautiful and haunting tunes by Irish Harpers from the 17th and 18th centuries, taken from original sources and played on historical and modern instruments—early Irish harp, lute, bandora, guitars, and Susato whistle—recreating the historic sound world of the Irish Baroque era and blending it sensitively with traditional instruments.

Siobhán Armstrong, historical harps
Cormac Breatnach, whistles
Steve Cooney, guitars
Eamon Sweeney, chitarra battente/bandora
