St. Brigid's Day 2024
The Embassy of Ireland in the Netherlands is thrilled to present our upcoming St. Brigid’s Day Fashion and Cultural Show, a celebration of the boundless creativity and talent of women.
Distinguished Irish designers Helen Steele and Tara Garvey will showcase their latest collections, embodying the fusion of contemporary style with traditional Irish influences. Guests at the event will be exposed to a rich sensory experience with enchanting melodies from a string quartet featuring Rosie Murphy on the harp and four fellow students from The Hague Royal Conservatory. They are Wilker Paredes Pernia on the viola, Gabriele Dikciute on the cello and Maaike van Dijk on the violin.
The cultural spectacle will continue with a captivating Irish dancing performance by the esteemed Kilkenny Lundy School of Irish dance, a locally based Irish dancing school in The Hague. Afterwards, the Pablo Neruda choir will provide a Dutch touch to the event through a musical performance of the poetry of W.B. Yeats, further uniting and celebrating the rich cultural exchange between Ireland and the Netherlands.
