Join us for an evening of traditional and contemporary Irish music, song and dance, featuring talented performers from Ireland & Finland in this beautiful and lively production suitable for all the family.The performance is a celebration for the traditional holiday, Imbolc. This is the time when the dark winter recedes and the light of the summer returns. The theme will be explored through a selection of pieces ranging from melancholy airs to lively and raucous polkas, reels and jigs. These old and traditional tunes and dances will be combined with new and original music from Irish composer Mark Hennessey, who also stars in the performance as principal dancer and musician (fiddle). His vision will be brought to life featuring a talented cast of musicians, dancers and singers including visiting performer David Brennan from Dublin, Ireland (Guitar, Bódhrán, Vocals).Mark Hennessey and David Brennan will be joined on stage with very special guests Helena Rängman (dance, vocals), Mariia Bertus (vocals), Tina Tynys (fiddle) and Per-Olof Ekström (accordion) along with musicians from the European Irish Music Ensemble and Finland based Irish dancers, Rince Revontulet.
