Carpenter Theatre, Richmond CenterStage
A Modlin Downtown Event

In their first tour of the United States since their establishment in 1900, the Irish Guards and Regimental Band visit Richmond to share the glory of their signature pomp and pageantry.
Formed at the express wish of Queen Victoria to commemorate the bravery of Irish regiments who fought in South Africa, the band performs, in turn with four other foot guard bands, for the Mounting of the Queen’s Guard at Buckingham Palace and for state ceremonial occasions including royal weddings and the Queen’s Birthday Parade. With a current roster of 49 musicians, the band also performs in a variety of professional combinations including a concert band, marching band, salon orchestra, dance band, and fanfare trumpeters.
Join in the spirit of this historic ensemble by attending the concert in your favorite traditional regalia.
