2021 dlr Musician in Residence, traditional flute player Iarlaith Mac Gabhann, will perform at Moran Park, dlr LexIcon, Dún Laoghaire on Friday 17 September as part of Culture Night 2021.
Performing alongside piano player Colm McGonigle, Iarlaith will play a collection of rare tunes he discovered during research undertaken as part of his Residency. Associated with lesser-known players of the North Connacht flute tradition, County Fermanagh and County Leitrim, many of the tunes were taken from historical recordings and manuscripts obtained by Iarlaith, and in some cases have never been heard before in modern times.
These concerts were programmed as part of the dlr Choice Live Performance Series curated by Schweppe Curtis Nunn for dlr Arts Office, and funded by the Local Live Performance Scheme operated by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
