Michael Rooney, June McCormack and the Music Generation Laois Harp Ensemble will make their debut performance in Osaka, Nagoya and Yokohama in Japan in April 2020. These concerts will be a feast of traditional Irish music, performed on Ireland’s national instrument, the Harp.

These concerts will feature a new suite of music composed by Michael for The Music Generation Laois Harp Ensemble entitled ‘The Spirit of Laois Suite’. In addition, the Irish musicians will collaborate with a Japanese student harp ensemble in Nagoya. They will also feature a collaboration with Japanese traditional musicians playing instruments such as the shakuhachi and koto in Yokohama.
