All concerts begin after 21.00. Ad Hoc will open each concert with a recital composed both of their own works, as well as covers by Blackmore’s Night, Loreena McKennitt, among others. The Romanian band Irish Way will not only hold traditional Irish dance representations, but they will also teach the audience to dance to this style. The four Irish musicians from Coras play violin, guitar, guitar and bodhrán (Irish percussion instrument).

The festivities are organized by the Embassy of Ireland in Romania, together with Culture Ireland and The Intercultural Association of Traditions. The event is produced by Long road to Happy Cemetery.
