This performance explores symbols of what is seen and unseen, both in nature and in the vulnerability of our personal lives as performing artists. As the northern hemisphere approaches the spring equinox, the Cailleach, the mythological Irish winter goddess and supernatural being of storms, yields to Brigid’s youthful spring and rebirth, shedding her guise as life reawakens and balance returns. Likewise, as the new moon emerges from its everchanging cycle of waxing and waning, light meets darkness, and what was obscured is revealed. This lunchtime concert is one of many activities taking place during Early Music Week and the 2026 Limerick Early Music Festival on March 20th-22nd, the theme of which is “Masks & Masques”.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
