Along with Celtic Harp and Story, his beguiling blend
of music and spoken word concerts, Patrick has written and currently performs
two acclaimed solo musical theater pieces: O'Carolan's Farewell
to Music, which brings to the stage the legendary life, the turbulent
times and the glorious music of Ireland's most celebrated and beloved musician,
Turlough O'Carolan, and The Fine Beauty of the Island,
a musical journey to Ireland's legendary Blasket Islands in search of a deeply
haunting tune and the vanished islanders who played it. Patrick also presents
an ensemble performance, The Flame of Love, a spoken
word and Early Music retelling of the greatest of medieval legends, The Romance

Patrick Ball is "a rare artist." For in playing the ancient, legendary
brass-strung harp of Ireland with its crystalline, bell-like voice and performing
marvelous tales of wit and enchantment, he not only brings new life to two cherished
traditions, but blends them in concert to create "a richly theatrical and
hauntingly beautiful performance."
