Harps South-East – Lunchtime harp recital with Tríona Marshall & Cruitirí Loch Garman

September 28th 2024

1-2pm (€10/€8)

Join Cruit Éireann | Harp Ireland and Music for Wexford in St Iberius Church to hear one of Ireland’s foremost harpers, Tríona Marshall, perform a concert celebrating our national instrument. We are delighted that Tríona will be joined by the Wexford Harp Ensemble - Cruitirí Loch Garman, directed by Aileen Kennedy as part of Music for Wexford’s “side by side” initiative, giving amateur musicians the opportunity to perform alongside professionals.

Tríona Marshall has played with The Chieftains since 2003, performing at festivals and concert halls around the world and in the USA, Japan, China and Australia. She has recorded extensively with The Chieftains and was principal harpist with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra,  having completed her studies at the London’s Royal College of Music and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. In 2013, along with The Chieftains, Triona was awarded an honorary doctorate from Dublin Institute of Technology in recognition of her contribution to Irish music.  

  Cruitirí Loch Garman - Wexford Harp Ensemble directed by Aileen Kennedy, are based in Co. Wexford consists of over 20 harp players who play and sing all types of music and songs at events both locally and internationally. Aileen, a former member of the Belfast Harp Orchestra, has enjoyed success at many harp festivals over the years, winning the Nobber, Granard and Keadue festivals and some of her compositions are held in the National Library of Wales.
