Joe The Magician – Live! Sunday October 6, 3pm

It’s Joe the Magician from RTÉjr… and he’s bringing his spectacular children’s comedy magic and illusion show back to Mullingar Arts Centre for one afternoon of mind-boggling fun!

Joe’s show fuses laugh out loud comedy magic with jaw dropping spectacular illusions, live on stage.

It’s a rollercoaster theatrical ride that reinvents children’s entertainment.

Flying tables, magical ghosts, a live snowstorm, an audience member floating on stage, are just a hint of what you can expect.

Early booking is advised as Joe’s show sold out last year.

“Joe Daly is Ireland’s leading children’s magician,” according to The Irish Times. “Joe Daly is absolutely brilliant,” said John McColgan, producer, director of Riverdance.

Esposito Quartet, Wednesday October 9, 8pm

This is another chance for you to experience world class classical music here in Mullingar.

The Esposito Quartet are four distinguished musicians with a combined wealth of experience as recital artists, orchestral leaders, and teachers, who have been playing as a quartet since 2010.

The Quartet’s name honours Michele Esposito, pianist and composer, who for 40 years from 1888 was the initiator for much of the chamber music making in Dublin through the establishment of The Royal Dublin Society concert series.

Modelled on Mozart’s A major quartet K.464 written just 15 years earlier, it features an extraordinary set of variations and a scampering, energised finale.
