Band of the Irish Guards and the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Regiment of Scotland

Featuring: Band of the Irish Guards and the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Regiment of Scotland

Presented by: George Mason University Center for the Arts

Sunday, January 24 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The Band of the Irish Guards and Royal Regiment of Scotland brings all of the pomp and grandeur of the British Empire to the Center’s stage. A gifted group of musicians was gathered by Queen Victoria in 1900 to commemorate the bravery of the Irish Regiments, and quickly gained a reputation for excellence. It was the band’s responsibility to inspire an esprit de corps among the troops, and it traveled extensively throughout both World Wars to give morale-boosting performances for those on active service. Now renowned across the globe, these regiments uplift spirits with rousing marches, sailor ballads, and of course, folk songs from their native Ireland. This incredible ensemble is a delight for the whole family!

$48, $40, $24 Family Friendly: Youth through grade 12 half price.
