DIT Harp Ensemble  

Music by eight harpists from the Dublin Institute of Technology’s Conservatory of Music and Drama. The Conservatory offers degree programmes in classical, jazz and Irish traditional music performance, composition, musicology, music education, opera, drama and, in association with partner colleges, rock and pop music, music theatre and scoring for film and visual media. The Conservatory shortly embarks on another exciting chapter with the move to a purpose-built facility for the creative and performing arts within the new DIT Grangegorman Campus.
