A Candlelight Christmas at Mount Carmel with Helen Hancock & The Triskel Ensemble

Enjoy a wonderful candlelight celebration of the Christmas season in the historic surroundings of Mount Carmel, Loughrea. Galway's favourite soprano, Helen Hancock, and her string quartet, The Triskel Ensemble, are delighted to perform a programme full of nostalgia featuring a medley of songs from The Sound of Music, with famous movie themes from ET, Home Alone and songs from Les Mis and Evita. The Corelli Christmas Pastorale, arias from Messiah and a touch of Mozart will soothe your soul in the candlelit atmosphere, alongside favourites like A Christmas Song, Walking in the Air, O Holy Night and some of your favourite Christmas carols. Helen in her usual chatty style will create an intimate and warm atmosphere leaving you full of Christmas cheer. The Triskel represents the three home countries of the members of the ensemble – José Scolaro (violin) from Venezuala, Eszter Cetinceviz (cello) from Hungary, Thomas Murphy (violin) and Seán Hancock (viola) from Ireland.
