Gregory Harrington is one of Ireland’s most recognized violinists, with a wide ranging diversity that encompasses classical to jazz to crossover.

His unique ability to transform movie and film scores, popular jazz, rock and pop music into brand new violin concert pieces has enthralled audiences around the world.
The evening will journey through personal stories from his arrangements of jazz great Django Reinhardt "Minor Swing" to Irish and Irish American ballads "Shenandoah" and "The Parting Glass"; from Hendrix "Purple Haze" and Johnny Cash "Hurt" to the glorious operatic sounds of Puccini's "O mio babbino Caro" & Andrea Bocelli's "Time to Say Goodbye" to iconic hits by U2 and the Cranberries and many more in between.
Gregory has performed all around the globe to critical acclaim with leading orchestras and conductors, for Presidents, Vice Presidents, the UN and on broadcast TV and radio. His latest album Glass Hour recorded with the Janacek Philharmonic and Mark Shapiro debuted at #3 in the Classical Billboard charts. Don't miss this evening of spectacular music!

“Spellbinding, world class..” ~ JazzCorner
“With nods to classical, jazz, and blues weaved in here, Harrington is able to make something that absolutely soars. The careful care-taking of the different instrumental elements makes a Herculean chore into child’s play…….”
Neufutur Magazine

“Harrington is a throwback to the rich lyrical strings sounds that evoke the melodic swing of Stephane Grappelli on an alluring session.” ~ Jazz Weekly
