Concert - Mel Mercier's "Sonóir" and Harp Show Case

The composition, Sonóir (Sonar) brings together, for the first time, the rich sonorities of two harps, bassoon, viola da gamba, and traditional percussion. “I am delighted to have been commissioned by Harp Ireland to write this new piece of music for the Irish Harp, contributing to 21st-century innovation in the repertoire.” – Mel Mercier.

The concert will also feature The Keadue Harp Ensemble ensuring the legacy of Turlough O’Carolan is celebrated by the community that champions it best, featuring Fiachra Guihen, Emma Benson, Sophie Daly, and Aoife Guckian.
