Return of the water music on the lake

The music festival returns this June Bank Holiday weekend.

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.
