MACALLA 1916
29th March 2016
MACALLA 1916 is a new suite of music composed by Michael Rooney, performed by the Comhaltas National Folk Orchestra of 55 traditional and classical musicians. The MACALLA 1916 suite, while reflecting on this seminal event in Irish history will also place The Easter Rising in the context of Ireland’s story from Famine to present times. Michael Rooney, widely reputed as one of the foremost traditional composers of our time, has composed seven major suites of music, most recently BORÓIMHE. The London performance will be followed by a nationwide concert tour of MACALLA 1916 over Easter 2016. Macalla 1916 will be directed by Ray Conway. 4th Marth, 2016: Barbican Theatre, London, performance for the Diaspora
