Lá na Cruite | Harp Day 2026 🪉
📆 Saturday 17 October 1pm
Foyer, Free of Charge and all welcome Duration: 60 Mins

As part of Lá na Cruite | Harp Day 2026, celebrating this year’s theme of Sult, glór hosts a pop-up performance by early Irish harper Paul Dooley and Ukrainian bandura player Kseniya Rusnak.

Clare-based Paul Dooley is one of the foremost exponents of Ireland’s early harp tradition. A performer, harp builder and musicologist, he plays the historic wire-strung harp in the medieval Gaelic tradition, and has spent decades reconstructing lost repertoire from early sources.

Kseniya Rusnak is a musician, composer and educator from Kyiv and a master of the bandura, Ukraine’s national harp-lute. A former teacher at the Kyiv Conservatory, she has become an active part of Ireland’s traditional and early music scene since moving here.

Performing together since 2022, the duo explore the shared roots of Irish and Ukrainian harp traditions through medieval music, traditional tunes, songs and new works inspired by ancient sources.
