OPW launches Cultural Programme at Rathfarnham Castle

The cultural season at Rathfarnham Castle is in full swing and this year promises to deliver to its audiences a selection of musical treats and insightful talks. This initiative aims to celebrate Ireland’s heritage ensuring there is plenty on offer for visitors to enjoy.

Musical performances include ‘It Takes Three to Tango’ featuring Adrian Mantu (cello), Dermot Dunne (accordion) as well as the harpist and former member of The Chieftains, Tríona Marshall.

Minister of State with responsibility for the OPW, Kevin “Boxer” Moran, said

To complement the musical performances, expert-lead talks will look at the history of Dublin’s built environment and the city’s economic and cultural importance in Ireland's links with Europe. The talks include Professor Patrick Wyse-Jackson and Dr. Louise Caulfield’s 'Exploring the Urban Geology of Dublin' and Professor Thomas O'Connon 'The Irish in Europe - Ecclesiastical, Military and Political Influence'.

These events are designed to bring together a compelling blend of music and history making Rathfarnham Castle a cultural destination over the coming months.
