The New England Irish Harp Orchestra to perform in Mattapoisett

Mar 8, 2016

The New England Irish Harp Orchestra returns to the Mattapoisett Free Public Library on Sunday, March 13 at 2 p.m. The event, part of the library’s Purrington Series, is sponsored by the Mattapoisett Library Trust.

The New England Irish Harp Orchestra has played throughout New England and Ireland. Last summer, 10 members of the orchestra traveled to Ireland for a cultural trip, and played concerts in Killarnery and the week-long music festival in Limerick with 54 other harpists from all over Europe. They also offered a children's concert for an audience of 300 at the Kennedy Library in Boston.

Seating is limited. Reservations may be made by calling 508-758-4171 or emailing mfpl@sailsinc.org.

The concert is free. The library, located at 7 Barstow Street, is handicapped accessible. Additional parking is available on the wharf, one block from the library.
