Celtic Harpist and Storyteller Patrick Ball in The Fine Beauty of the Island

April 4, 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Orvis Auditorium

In The Fine Beauty of the Island, a solo musical theater piece, Patrick Ball tells the story of his journey in search of the origin and meaning of a strange, enchanting tune which led him back not only to a Blasket Island community and culture “whose like will not be seen again,” but to a long-neglected corner of his own past.

“Through the voice of his Celtic harp, the lilt of his penny whistle, and the brogues of a pubful of characters, contemporary bard Patrick Ball casts a spell ... weaving a pageant out of scraps of stories, researched history, and the raucous dark humor of the Irish.” ~ The Voice, Sonoma County, CA

Presented by the University of Hawaii at Manoa Outreach College in association with the University of Hawaii at Manoa Music Department. Partial funding provided by the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
