Programme

The Earls of Ormond present a programme that delves into the origins of the famous tune, Sellinger’s Round, which is said to be named after Sir Anthony St. Leger, resident at Doneraile Court and Henry VIII’s Lord Deputy to Ireland. This intricate connection between music and history forms the heart of a performance that will feature the finest early music specialists in Ireland. Immerse yourself in the sounds of the 16th and 17th centuries and experience a consort like no other.
