Music Generation Laois has been busy of late, with a number of the group’s harpists delighted to travel to the international O’Carolan Harp Festival in Nobber, Co Meath, the birthplace of Ireland’s most famous harpist Turlough O’Carolan, on Saturday October 1.
This group of 18 harpists participated in workshops with some of Ireland’s most talented harpists and competed in the festival competitions against young musicians from all around Ireland, with a number even having travelled from Scotland and Italy.
The Music Generation Laois Harp Ensemble was joined by their tutor Siobhan Buckley.
