SUMMARY:Hugh Higgins: A Mayo Harper and his Music with harper Laoise Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Join acclaimed harper Laoise Kelly for an afternoon exploring the life and legacy of Hugh Higgins\, the blind harper from County Mayo who was one of eleven harpers to perform at the landmark 1792 Belfast Harp Festival. In this lecture\, Laoise Kelly sheds light on Higgins’ musical style\, his place within the harping tradition\, and the tunes attributed to him in the early collections of Edward Bunting\, who transcribed many of the tunes performed at the festival. This is a rare opportunity to delve into the story of one of Ireland’s tradition-bearers\, brought to life and performed by one of today’s most celebrated harpers. \nDate: 13th September\nTime: 2:30pm – 3:30pm\nVenue: Joly Theatre\, National Library of Ireland
