Scoil na gCláirseach–Festival of Early Irish Harp
Discover the world of the exquisite and ancient Gaelic harp in a full schedule of 50 talks, workshops, social occasions and concerts of harping, song, piping, viola da gamba, lute, and more. Onsite in Kilkenny and LIVE online, 07 – 13 July, 2023
Our aim is to share with you the ‘real deal’ of the music of the old harpers, exploring as much of their world as is now possible, using everything from 18th-century manuscripts to cutting-edge 21st-century science. Hear, play and sing the music familiar to Gaelic chieftains, and in the Great Irish Houses.
We warmly welcome players of ALL kinds of harps.
