Come join Irish harpist Mairead Doherty and her special musical guests
for “A Remembrance of the 1916 Uprising in Music, Poetry, and Song.” The Easter
Uprising was a pivotal event in modern Irish history, when Irish nationalists
declared the establishment of an Irish Republic and staged a rebellion against
the British government in Ireland.
The talented Ms. Doherty is a yearly favorite at Dennis Public Library,
and her beautiful and educational performance is sure to entertain an audience
of all ages.
Born in County Tipperary, Ireland, Mairead Doherty studied harp under the
auspices of the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. She has performed
throughout Europe and North America.
