SUMMARY:Historical Harp Society of Ireland Concert
DESCRIPTION:The King’s Harper: The Irish Harp at the 17th-century English Court \nIn 1605\, King James I of England employed the first ‘royal’ Irish harper to work at the court in London: Cormac MacDermott. This gave rise to an extraordinary ensemble in which the melting sound of his early Irish harp’s brass-wire strings was woven together with the lute\, Renaissance viols\, and the human voice to produce an exquisite music for the king’s pleasure. \nConcerts take place live in Kilkenny. A video of each concert will be available to ticket holders as soon as possible after each concert takes place. N.B. Concerts will not be live-streamed. \nLocation:\nThe Parade Tower\, Kilkenny Castle \nArtists:\nThe Irish Consort: Róisín O’Grady\, soprano; Siobhán Armstrong\, early Irish harp; Ryosuke Sakamoto\, Renaissance lute; Sarah Groser\, Reiko Ichise\, Malachy Robinson\, viols

SUMMARY:Queer Irish lives in the 18th and 19th centuries: An arsy-versy history of Lady Butler\, Ms Ponsonby\, Dr Barry\, and Mr and Mrs De Lacy Evans.
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Pride Month\, OPW-Kilkenny Castle is delighted to host a talk by Dr Anthony Delaney on Saturday 10th June at 3pm in the Parade Tower.\nThis talk explores ideas of gender and sexuality in the Georgian and Victorian Ireland\, initially by centering Kilkenny Castle’s inherent queerness\, before zooming out to consider Kilkenny\, and then the country more boradly. It asks how queer Irish people at this time understood and expressed their gender non-conforming identity\, particularly in the context of Ireland and Irishness. It also examines how we might best explore and communicate these histories to reflect the context of the times in which each protagonist lived\, and how this informs questions around gender and sexuality today.\nThis event is free\, seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.\nAs an actor\, Anthony has worked across stage and screen since he graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama\, London in 2010. Last year\, Anthony completed his PhD at the University of Exeter investigating Cotqueans: Queer Domesticity in eighteenth-century England.\n????Lithograph by J.H.
