On the 17th - 18th June, 5 members of the Orpheus Lyre Ensemble had a busy 2 days in Donegal. We first played at a home for special needs people, later that day we entertained at a multicultural evening, followed by an hour in the local pub. The next morning we supported Anna in giving a workshop to local people to experience playing the lyre. In the afternoon we played at a local old people's home. We met plenty of local musicians, it was fun to be part of a thriving musical community. |
