Join us on April 22nd to commemorate the Centenary of the 1916 Rising
The centerpiece of the commemorative events on the west coast takes place in San Francisco's Grace Cathedral on April 22nd. Ireland's Poet Patriots is a musical commemoration of and reflection upon Ireland's struggle for independence as told through the stirring poems, lyrics and writings of ten of Ireland's great poet-patriots - from Robert Emmet to W.B. Yeats, James Connolly, Maud Gonne, Padraic Pearse and more. Ireland's Poet Patriots brings to life over 100 years of Irish history that led directly to the Easter Rising of 1916. Composer Richard B. Evans marries Irish traditional music with the expressive power of original classical crossover to pay tribute to the enduring spirit of Ireland's people, music, history and literature.
