solas nua

founded in december 2004 by two dubliners and two washingtonians, solas nua began programming in the summer of 2005 with the smash hit disco pigs. since then we have grown to become the major irish cultural force of the nation's capital with ongoing weekly events, over 35 irish artists visiting per season and visionary and groundbreaking programming. if you can visit ireland to experience the culture first hand we recommend the trip. if you can't then come visit us - we're the next best thing.
