The Autumn season opens with a newly curated ensemble featuring the phenomenal vocal blend of Connemara siblings Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta alongside stellar pianist and composer Ryan Molloy. Running from 11th-26th September, this trio creates an enchanting musical mix, with traditional and contemporary music sitting comfortably side by side, drawing the listener into a world of enthralling vocal and instrumental explorations.
Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta were named Best Emerging Artists at the 2024 RTÉ Folk Awards. The siblings hail from the Gaeltacht region of Connemara and are noted for their sean nós singing and unique arrangements of both Irish and English language songs. Composer and pianist Ryan Molloy has performed to international audiences on four continents for over twenty years. A recipient of many awards, Ryan was most recently announced as TG4 Gradam Ceoil 2024 Composer of the Year. With these three exceptional artists coming together for the first time, audiences can expect superbly crafted arrangements alongside exquisite harmonies, and a night of music to remember. This tour will also feature a brand new Music Network commission by Ryan Molloy.
In October the Daniel Herskedal Trio visits our shores from Norway. A brilliant tuba and bass trumpet player, Herskedal’s music is alive with breath and vitality and renowned for its melodic resonance. Over the past decade, Herskedal has consistently pushed the boundaries of the tuba, crafting music that is both profoundly introspective and expansively cinematic. He is joined by Helge Lien on piano and percussionist Helge Andreas Norbakken, for a tour that runs from 21st-26th October.
And finally, November brings one of the world’s leading harpists Emmanuel Ceysson together with special guest, soprano Sarah Shine. ‘Charming, loquacious and brilliantly gifted’, Ceysson is much in demand as a soloist around the world, and Sarah Shine is quickly establishing herself as an artist of note both in Ireland and on the international stage. Ceysson will share virtuosic and flamboyant performances of music by Tournier and Caplet and together they will perform exquisite songs by Vierne in addition to popular favourites by Debussy and Fauré. Don’t miss these extraordinary artists on tour from 19th-28th November.
