LOUGH Derg will ring with the sounds of music again this June Bank Holiday as the Killaloe Music Festival returns with a line-up of performances, including a fun family music adventure.
This year’s festival marks the first program curated by new artistic director, acclaimed violinist Diane Daly.
Building on the festival’s 12-year legacy, Ms Daly is preserving the beloved tradition of world-class musicians performing timeless classics while introducing exciting new elements.
The festival organisers are also excited to continue their partnership with Limerick-based company Shannon Coiled Springs.
Running from Wednesday May 28 to Monday June 2, the festival offers a rich and diverse program, featuring everything from classical masterpieces and contemporary compositions to folk, jazz, and innovative cross-genre collaborations.
Highlights include performances of classic works by Dvorak, Bruch, Boccherini, and Smetana, and the expansion of the popular candlelit late-night concerts from one evening to three – including renowned folk artist Karan Casey and one of the country’s most electrifying vocalists, Camille O’Sullivan.
A brand-new large-scale family show is set to take place at the Lakeside Hotel on the Bank Holiday Monday, featuring actors, internationally-recognised musicians and local artists, in an interactive musical adventure.
