The event will raise funds for the St. Vincent de Paul, St. Brigid’s Conference, Killarney.
The concert will feature the Kerry Scotia Ensemble, soprano Dr Sharon Lyons, and the Kerry Concert Choir.
Attendees can look forward to an evening of classical, choral, and vocal music spanning various genres, from religious pieces to modern pop.
The Kerry Concert Choir will lead the event, blending voices with the strings of the Kerry Scotia Ensemble. Dr Lyons and members of the choir recently performed to enthusiastic audiences in Dublin.
