Join us for a captivating evening exploring the rich history and unique sounds of Ireland’s national instrument, the harp. Renowned musician Paul Dooley will guide us through its evolution, from medieval times to the present day.

One of the leading exponents of the historical Irish harp, Paul plays a metal-strung harp in the authentic style—using fingernails for resonance and fingertip damping to shape the sound. With decades of research, performance, and harp-making experience, he brings the past to life through music and storytelling.

Stay tuned for full event details—this is one not to be missed! 🎶✨
