In celebration of International Women’s Day, Ina Boyle’s The Magic Harp will be performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nil Venditti, on the Friday 4 March 2022, 7.30pm at the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
The concert will celebrate the voices of female composers from Ireland, Europe and the United States, including works by Joan Tower, Marianna Martines, Cindy McTee, Cécile Chaminade, Vítězslava Kaprálová and Anna Clyne.
“Ina Boyle’s The Magic Harp evocatively conjures the Irish myth of the durd-alba, the sinuously, sensually moving wind among apple trees in blossom, in a ravishing rhapsody for orchestra.”
