In turbulent days of the 17th and 18th centuries, Celtic harper Turlough O'Carolan composed some of Ireland's most brilliant and familiar music. In O'Carolan's Farewell to Music, a one-man theatrical piece, Patrick Ball whisks the audience away to that tumultuous time, as seen through the character of Charles MacCabe, a fellow harper and friend of Carolan. Patrick Ball weaves fourteen Carolan tunes, skillfully played on the rare wire-strung harp, into the fabric of the story. With wit, humor, and haunting melodies, Ball portrays the life and works of Ireland's most beloved composer. Opening act: Tampa Bay's own Celtic Karma.
