Featuring many of Ireland's celebrated performers playing with orchestra.

The Locrian Ensemble and the London Irish Sinfonia perform a stunning programme of music that explores both Celtic spirituality and the exuberance of the Irish soul. Paul Honey's magnificent St. Patrick's Suite of Old Irish tunes, many by O' Carolan, feature some of Ireland's most celebrated musicians (soloists from films, Lord of the Rings and Return of the King).

Alongside some of Ireland's best loved tunes such as Danny Boy and Women of Ireland, are contemporary classics such as You Raise Me Up. The evening will culminate in a Irish Caleigh with Full Irish Caleigh Band, the perfect celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
