The magic of Ireland will stretch well beyond St. Patrick’s Day this year, and you’re invited to experience it for yourself!
Join Victoria Symphony as they take their audience on a tour through Ireland and all things Irish, with Music of the Emerald Isles—happening March 26th at 8 p.m. and March 27th at 2:30 p.m. at the Royal Theatre.
If you’re feeling lucky, look no further—we’ve partnered with Victoria Symphony to give away a pair of tickets to this much-anticipated show, and you’ll find those contest details below!
You’ll experience a ramble through misty moors and the ancient castles of Ireland with foot-stomping ceilidhs of favourite Celtic tunes including O’Danny Boy, Scotland the Brave and more, all created by Juilliard trained violinist and Riverdance alumni, Maria Kaneko Millar.
Maria has performed as a soloist throughout Canada, Ireland, China, Japan, Mexico and the US—her work has been featured by The Canadian, British and American Broadcasting Corporations as well as Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and The Gershwin Theatre on Broadway.
Maria currently tours North America alongside flutist Shawn Wyckoff as Sonic Escape.
Her improvised solos and simultaneous dance were featured in 170 performances as the Solo Dancing Fiddler in Riverdance On Broadway and the North American and Asian Tours of Riverdance: The Show.
She also performed in Radio City Music Hall’s One World Jam and premiered her creation for dancing violinist on CBC’s nationally-televised The Great Canadian Music Dream.
Music of the Emerald Isles is conducted by Victoria Symphony Principal Pops Conductor, Sean O’Loughlin.
O’Laughlin has been conductor and/or arranger with some of the most popular pop artists of the century including Adele, Jerry Garcia, Steven Tyler, Kelly Clarkson, and Josh Groban.
Tickets for Music of the Emerald Isles start at $40 ($20 for students!) and are available online or from the Royal and McPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121.
