Masked Epic is a 5-part web series documentary following the Killarney Honour Strings in their pursuit of meaningful musical experience despite the incredible logistical obstacles of COVID-19 protocols.
Forced to complete their 10-month course in just 10 weeks, remote learning for half of those weeks, the orchestra split into two parallel cohorts, not playing for nearly a year, physical distancing and masks - the course was not supposed to be epic. Yet, these young musicians set forth to make this 10-week journey something special.—Nicholas Urquhart
