The Swedish harpist Adolf Sjödén (1843-1893) spent several months in Ireland in 1879. Whilst there he became good friends with various leading and influential figures of the day and was involved in the concert life of the country, giving his services in benefit concerts as well as playing solo concerts in public concert halls and private homes. This chapter will focus on Sjödén’s friendship with Sir Samuel Ferguson, his part in the celebrations of Thomas Moore’s birth, and Sjödén’s attempts to revive Irish music and the Irish harp.
