Emerald Strings is a powerful, story-driven concert experience that takes audiences on a journey through Ireland’s past and present—blending classical mastery, traditional Irish music, and contemporary sound into one immersive evening.
Led by acclaimed violinist Gregory Harrington, known for his emotional depth and technical brilliance, Emerald Strings goes beyond a traditional concert. Through evocative music, storytelling, and moments of warmth and humor, Harrington brings Ireland’s history, resilience, and cultural spirit vividly to life while also sharing elements of his own artistic journey.
The program spans centuries, beginning with the Irish Famine of 1847 and moving into the modern era, where the precision of classical music meets the soul of Irish folk, Americana and the energy of contemporary works. Each piece is woven into a larger narrative, inviting audiences to listen not just with their ears, but with memory, curiosity, and heart.
More than an evening of Irish music, Emerald Strings is designed for cultural explorers; those who love meaningful nights out, music with context, and performances that linger long after the final note. Join us for a cinematic, moving experience that honors Ireland’s past and present through sound, story, and connection.
