On Wednesday 26th June The Morricone Experience takes the stage at the historic St. Brigid's Cathedral in Kildare Town.
This iconic ensemble will bring to life the timeless compositions of Ennio Morricone.
Set within the majestic walls of St. Brigid's Cathedral, the concert promises an extraordinary auditory experience.
The Cathedral's renowned acoustics will enhance the lush, intricate arrangements, allowing each note to resonate with unparalleled clarity and depth. As the music fills the sacred space, you'll feel every crescendo and diminuendo as if the cathedral itself is part of the performance.
Orla Murtagh, chairperson of the Kildare Derby Festival Committee said: “We are so looking forward to the Kildare Derby Festival this year which will be an exciting week, culminating in with the Irish Derby at the Curragh Racecourse at the end of June.
“We have planned an exciting range of events and activities to suit all tastes and ages and look forward to welcoming everyone to Kildare Town in the last week of June.
“Kildare Town is steeped in cultural and racing history and we welcome the opportunity to showcase all this through our community’s Festival week.”
