Highlights

Led by Wicklow native Oisín. With an intimate aquaintance with his home county, Oisín has staged history events at Kilruddery House and Wicklow Gaol. He is uniquely qualified as sincere historian, musician, and former member of Dublin’s renowned Palestrina Choir.


Blending rich musical tradition with critical historical insight, Oisín guides you through the monastic serenity of Glendalough and its rich heritage, the profound influence of monastic Ireland on Europe, post Dark ages.
