Concerts at Dromore Yard
Concerts 2025 – Ireland’s Summer Opera Festival
We are delighted to present a pair of unmissable concerts for 2025 at Dromore Yard, in Aglish, County Waterford: When Birds Do Sing with Niamh O’Sullivan and Gary Beecher, and Baroque Hits with Paula Murrihy and the Irish Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas McGegan.
The BVOF Concert Series takes place at Dromore Yard – a romantic, restored 19th century farm on the banks of the River Blackwater. Charming outbuildings and courtyards set the scene for sold out concert series each year, with the concert venue lending itself naturally to fine acoustics and stunning views.
