Concert Details: Georgian Dublin enjoyed the status of 'Second City' of the British Empire', a situation that provided for the growth of a vibrant musical life in Dublin. Italian virtuousos and composers visited and lived in Dublin, Thomas Moore and other Irish musicians achieved international success, and Bunting published his famous collections of Irish traditional music.

This special concert will feature music from that period performed by Irish group Sonamus, with special guest the celebrated soprano, Deirdre Moynihan. Music from Thomas Moore, Turlough O'Carolan, Thomas Connelan, Tomasso Giordani, and William Balfe for voice, whistle, baroque guitar, harpsichord and cello.
