The conference will also include a plenary lecture, ‘The European Response to Thomas Moore’s Lalla Rookh’, followed by a concert to mark the 200th anniversary of Moore’s work. The lecture and concert are part of the research project ERIN ‘Europe’s Reception of the Irish Melodies and National Airs: Thomas Moore in Europe’ which is co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union.
