As with planned and proposed events nationwide, due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus, Patrick Cassidy’s Cantata, The Children of Lir, due to be performed by Blessington Millennium Choir at Holy Trinity Church, Westport on Saturday 25th April 2020, has been cancelled. The Children of Lir is Patrick’s highly acclaimed traditional musical interpretation of the legend of the Children of Lir, so firmly associated with Mayo.
“It is with a heavy heart that we decided to cancel our Westport concert in light of the global crisis we are now in. We felt it was best to make the call now, before too many tickets are sold and too much publicity is in hand. To hesitate for a couple of weeks and then make a decision would be in nobody's interest,” explained Harry Myler, event coordinator with the Blessington Millennium Choir.
“We would hope to rearrange the concert for Easter next year, giving the virus a wide berth and allowing for recovery and vaccines to be in place,” he added.
Admission tickets purchasers can receive a full rebate from Westport Town Hall Theatre on 098-28459 and through Holy Trinity Parish Members. For further information please contact Harry Meyer on either 045-865496 or 083-3934980.
