Enchantment
Evlana is a flexible group with programmes ranging from smaller ensemble groups to a sinfonietta sized orchestra. It was founded by composer Siobhán Cleary in 2015. Evlana places contemporary music at the heart of its programming and provides an opportunity for Ireland’s most accomplished performers and composers to produce and perform their work. Join Evlana and Michael Harding for an evening of music and magic. The event will feature composers with a local connection such as Turlough O’Carolan and Percy French as well as performances of works with an enchanted theme, such as Ravel’s “Enchanted Flute”, Richard Strauss’s “At Sunset’ and “Elfentanz” by Florence Price. Evlana are delighted to welcome Michael Harding to share stories of local folklore and enchantment.
