Saint George’s to welcome Iconic music
Celebrating Iconic People, Places and Pieces of Music throughout the ages. From Nessun Dorma to Wuthering Heights and Schindlers List to My Way, the ‘Iconic’ concert is full of the most loved songs in history, brought to life by Ireland’s foremost classical crossover performers - Emer Barry and Eoin Hynes, accompanied by pianist Mary McCague and violinist Lynda O’Connor.
The historic walls and windows of Saint George’s Arts and Heritage Centre in Mitchelstown will reverberate with these beloved songs, all under one umbrella, next Friday 22nd April at 8pm. Emer Barry and Eoin Hynes have been described as the Irish Bocelli and Brightman, having performed throughout the world including at the National Opera Studio London, the National Concert Hall to Wembley Arena London, Stephansdom Cathedral in Vienna and Castletown House, Iconic will bring the magic of these stages and their vast experience as performers to Mitchelstown.

impressive four million views across the streaming platform and her global following is continuously growing.
