Experience the Magic of Tradition and Talent: A Night with Turas and Kiera Nagle
Join us for an unforgettable evening as Turas, the dynamic Irish music ensemble, takes the stage alongside 13-year-old Irish Step Dancing prodigy Kiera Nagle. If you haven't seen Turas play the JPT you're missing an intimate showcase of musical craft and charm in our intimate setting that appeals to all ears, especially those who love the Emerald Isle! This special performance marks Kiera’s debut with Turas, bringing together her passion for Irish dance and the soulful sounds of the band in a celebration of Irish culture.
Kiera Nagle’s journey in Irish Step Dance began at the young age of 3, when she first joined the renowned Kelly School of Irish Dance. Since then, she has become a standout performer, dazzling audiences across Rhode Island as a member of Kevin Doyle’s Roscommon Soles, including at the prestigious Providence Performing Arts Center. With her precise footwork, rhythmic flair, and boundless energy, Kiera adds a fresh, vibrant energy to the Turas show, blending tradition with youthful exuberance.
Turas, whose name means “journey” in Irish, brings together an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary Irish tunes, woven together with original arrangements crafted by the band’s talented musicians. The group’s performance is a musical journey in itself, drawing on decades of experience in Irish music and offering a unique fusion of familiar melodies and innovative compositions.
Whether you're a longtime lover of Irish music or discovering it for the first time, this concert promises to be an extraordinary experience. Don’t miss the chance to see the incredible Kiera Nagle in action, as her expressive dancing and Turas’ rich melodies transport you into the heart of Ireland’s cultural legacy.
Mark your calendars, bring your friends, and come experience the unforgettable fusion of Irish music and dance—an evening of tradition, passion, and a truly magical journey.
