On the 18th of November, Pauline Scanlon is joined by Barry Kerr for a very special RESONATE performance at Ionad Cultúrtha.
About The Longing:
The Longing is a collaborative traditional singing project between renowned singer Pauline Scanlon from Dingle and Armagh singer and multi-instrumentalist Barry Kerr.
Focusing on traditional songs where feelings of longing for home, freedom, love, acceptance and peace are central themes, they will create beautiful, contemporary arrangements culminating in a performance in Ionad Cultúrtha, Baile Mhúirne, with singer and harpist Síle Denvir and percussionist Eamon Murray.
Is tionscadal comhoibríoch amhráníochta traidisiúnta idir Barry Kerr as Ard Mhacha agus Pauline Scanlon ón Daingean atá i gceist le The Longing/An tSíreacht.
Tá an tionscadal bunaithe ar stór amhrán ina bhfuil an ‘tsíreacht’ ina buntéama. I measc na dtéamaí a ndíreoidh siad orthu mar chuid den tréimhse chónaitheach RESONATE tá cumha i ndiaidh an bhaile, tóraíocht na saoirse, agus mianta an duine síocháin agus suaimhneas a aimsiú. Cuirfear an tionscadal i láthair ag ceolchoirm in Ionad Cultúrtha Bhaile Bhúirne i gcomhar leis an amhránaí agus an cláirseoir Síle Denvir agus leis an gcnagcheoltóir Eamon Murray.
