Irish harpist welcomes winter’s celebrations in BF

BELLOWS FALLS — Irish harpist and singer Áine Minogue celebrates the solstice, winter, and Christmas in a concert at Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St., on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 7:30 p.m.

As traditional Irish music and dance continue to enjoy phenomenal success both here and in Ireland, Minogue is an artist whose voice reflects the lyricism and richness to be found in Irish music, mythology, and poetry. She brings a diverse group of instruments which add to the traditional flavor of her work.

Born in Borrisokane, County Tipperary, she moved from Ireland to the United States as an adult, and settled in New England. She says she spends most of her time on Cape Cod.

Continuing to concentrate on the traditional music of her homeland, both as a soloist and collaborator, she explores the ancient art form, adding her own creativity to each piece.
