Ireland’s musical past is portrayed in an energizing, contemporary setting as the country’s finest singers and dancers storm the stage in “Women of Ireland.”
Five of Ireland’s top female musical performers join with a troupe of phenomenal dancers for this concert production highlighting the purest qualities of Irish music. The touring show comes to the MSU Riley Center in downtown Meridian on Feb. 21 for a 7:30 p.m. performance.
