Echoes of Ireland

GRAMMY®-winning ensemble Apollo’s Fire are known for their folk programs exploring history and legends. The expert troupe plays on period instruments, but with the freedom of folk players. In their new program, Echoes of Ireland, eight musicians follow the trail of Turlough O’Carolan – the beloved, blind harper who traveled the roads of 18th-century Ireland, playing at weddings and funerals. From heartbreaking laments and ballads to joyous dances, the artists on fiddles, cello, Celtic harp, lute, and vocals bring to life the legends of Ireland. A delight for the young and old!
