The concert will feature performances by the Louth Chamber Orchestra and members of the Ardee Concert Band. The programme will consist of a variety of pieces by inspired by folk and traditional music, including excerpts from ‘The Brigid Suite’ by Kearney and Adèle Commins, commissioned by Louth County Council for the Brigid1500 celebrations, and a piece composed by Kearney following a visit to Kenya that coincided with the 50th anniversary of EU-Kenya diplomatic relations. This special Culture Night event celebrates local ensembles and composers, and the potential created by collaboration.
