Who better to celebrate the wearin' of the green than The Michael O'Neal Singers?
Don't miss this bit of Irish magic as the chorus and instrumentalists perform a variety of Celtic and Gaelic tunes, ranging in style from sacred music to traditional folk
melodies.
The highlight of the concert will be the world premiere of a work commissioned by the MOS. Scored for chorus and chamber ensemble, Return to Old Ireland by Irish composer Mary McAuliffe blends the poetry of Walt Whitman and Y.B. Yeats with original text and music to create an enchanting work that echoes with the tones and textures of the Emerald Isle.
