A Voice From Ireland - Emmet Cahill

As part of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2026, the Association Femmes d’Europe, with the support of the Embassy of Ireland in Belgium, invites you to a charitable Gala Concert in the magnificent Henry Le Bœuf Hall. Internationally renowned Irish tenor Emmet Cahill and Marc Redmond on the Uillean Pipes, will perform together with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra and the Brussels Philharmonic Chorus, under the direction of David Navarro-Turres.
