Following on from their huge success in the Roscommon Arts Centre, the Roscommon Solstice Choir will present ‘Songs that Built a Nation’ in the Backstage Theatre, Longford on Wednesday and Thursday, September 9th and 10th.
With a script by well-known Roscommon playwright and historian Tommy Murray, the choir will present epic moments of Irish history as told through ballads, songs, poems and music.
Beginning with the United Irishmen Rebellion of 1798, the show tells the story of this traumatic and tumultuous time in our history up to and including the War of Independence of 1920/21.
This show, which has been described as a “very moving production, which immediately takes its place as one of the outstanding highlights of this choir’s distinguished ‘body of work’” – is definitely not to be missed.
Booking via (043) 3347888 or admin@backstage.ie.
