Sacred Strings: An Evening of Divine Music with Shakir Khan in Ennis

Sacred Strings – An Evening of Divine Music brings together the meditative beauty of Indian classical music in an intimate and spiritually uplifting concert experience at Carrigoran House. Presented by the Indian Classical Music Society of Ireland in association with Naadmarg Sangeet Vidyalaya, the programme invites audiences to immerse themselves in an evening where melody, rhythm, and devotion converge to create a deeply moving musical journey. 

The concert is headlined by internationally acclaimed sitar maestro Shakir Khan, whose performances are celebrated for their lyrical expression, technical brilliance, and profound emotional depth.
