Home for the Holidays: An Irish Christmas with Dublinesque
Advertisement
Home for the Holidays, an Irish Christmas, is a heartwarming, festive celebration that brings the joyous spirit of a traditional Irish house party to life. It captures the deep sense of community and tradition that defines an Irish Christmas.
The production blends dazzling instrumental tunes—jigs, reels, and hornpipes—with moving, soulful renditions of traditional Irish Christmas carols and contemporary holiday favorites.
Led by Dublin-born pianist and singer-songwriter Eamonn Flynn, the show features the traditional folk quartet, Dublinesque, delivering a vibrant blend of fiery instrumental prowess, storytelling, and classic seasonal melodies.
Flynn is joined by Félim Egan on accordion and bodhran, Darcy Noonan on fiddle and vocals and Hector Bragado on Irish banjo and guitar.
Adding to the spectacle, dancer Madeline Donnelly from the Kennelly School of Irish Dance will bring the performance to life with thrilling, traditional footwork.
Come get into the Christmas spirit with an unforgettable, high-energy experience that feels less like a concert and more like sitting in a cozy, music-filled Irish living room on Christmas Eve.
