This exciting new ensemble, consisting of some of Ireland's finest exponents of early music, come together to explore the music world of the Earls of Ormond who occupied Kilkenny Castle from the end of the 14th century until the mid 20th century.
The Earls of Ormond:
Caoimhe de Paor and Laoise O’Brien - recorders
Sarah Groser and Norah O’Leary - viols
Siobhan Armstrong - historical harps
Malcolm Proud - chamber organ
This newly-formed ensemble brings together early music specialists with a wide range of performance experience who share a particular interest in consort repertoire from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Their inaugural concert in Kilkenny Castle will explore repertoire from the early 1600s which would have formed part of the musical tapestry in the lives of the Butlers of Ormond.
