Mar 15, 2026
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • A St. Patrick’s Celebration: The Music of Ireland’s Legendary Bard

    Celebrate the spirit of Ireland this March at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts. On Sunday, March 15th, join two of the world’s finest Celtic instrumentalists—virtuoso guitarist Robin Bullock and four-time National Scottish Harp Champion Sue Richards—for an enchanting afternoon dedicated to the "last of the bards," Turlough O'Carolan.

    Experience a masterclass in "string wizardry" as this award-winning duo brings the 17th-century harper’s timeless compositions to life. From haunting Gaelic airs to the elegant Baroque-inspired planxties that defined an era, Bullock and Richards bridge the gap between the Old World and the New. Whether you are a fan of traditional Irish music or world-class acoustic performance, this rare appearance by two WAMMIE Award winners is the perfect way to kick off your St. Patrick’s week.
