SUMMARY:Síle Denvir & Barry Kerr
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Dublin Fleadh\, TG4 Amhránaí na Bliana 2023\, Síle Denvir and current UCC Traditional Artist in Residence 2023\, Barry Kerr will perform at the Irish Institute of Music and Song in Balbriggan on May 13th. \nMaking a compelling duet and creating music that communicates the beauty of a living tradition\, Síle and Barry are celebrated as two of Ireland finest traditional musicians/singers. Their repertoire is a sympathetic merging of both traditional and original material\, ranging from Síle’s ancient sean-nós songs to Barry’s self-composed modern folk tales. Their instrumental music on uilleann pipes\, flute and harp is underpinned by subtle and inventive motif based arrangements. Originally from the sou \nthern shores of Lough Neagh\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, songwriter\, and visual artist Barry is one of Ireland’s most accomplished artists. A master on both uilleann pipes and flute\, his recent work has explored the concept of relating musical performance and composition with visual art. Barry was the recipient of the prestigious Liam O’ Flynn Award in 2020 and is currently the tradition musician in residence at UCC. Síle is a harpist and sean-nós singer who is deeply influenced by her upbringing in the Connemara Gaeltacht where she was surrounded by music and song from an early age. Síle was recently named Amhránaí na Bliana (singer of the year) in the prestigious TG4 Gradam Ceoil and her most recent album Anamnesis\, a recording of sean-nós songs in collaboration with producer John Reynolds and cellist Caroline Dale\, has just been released. \n

SUMMARY:World Premiére of “For Three Lever Harps” by Sam Perkin at West Cork Chamber Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:New Work for Irish Harp Ensemble at West Cork Chamber Music Festival\nA new work for three harps by Sam Perkin will be premiered at the 2023 West Cork Chamber Music Festival on Sunday\, June 25th .\nFor Three Lever Harps was commissioned by the Cork ETB School of Music in 2019. However\, the\nCOVID 19 pandemic intervened\, and it is only now that the work is receiving its first performance.\nWriting about the Commission Sam Perkin says: – \n“For Three Lever Harps is about the beauty that spontaneously comes into being when we step back\,\nembracing the waiting\, and watch the wonder of life unfold. The exploration of awe has now become\na central aspect of my artistic output. As an artist I seek to explore the purity of childlike wonder.\nThis is something we often lose contact with as we age\, and which gets replaced by apathy and void.\nIt can be scary to fully accept being alive\, though if we manage to get out of our own way and let life\nemerge\, we can authentically participate in its gift with humility”. \nComposed especially for the CETB’s harp teacher Damhnait Nic Suibhne and her students\, this work\nis scored for three lever harps but allows for individual parts to be doubled freely at the discretion\nof\, and relative to the availability of\, the performers. \n\nIn his performance notes Sam Perkin says “In the piece we hear waves of staccato chords which\noverlap and echo between the three parts. The regular silences enhance the atmosphere\, which is \nintended to sound as neutral as possible. Gradually a new pattern emerges\, leading us to hear what\nwe first heard in a new way. The three harps finally synchronise for the first time near the end of the\nwork\, leading to a delicate fading out of the music”. \nCarol Daly\, Principal of Cork ETB School of Music is very pleased that this creative piece will be\nplayed for the first time as part of the ETB School of Music’s ‘Young Ensembles’ concert at the West\nCork Chamber Music Festival. “We are really looking forward to hearing Sam Perkin’s wonderful\ncomposition which we commissioned to demonstrate our commitment to and pride in harping in our\nschool and we are delighted that these fine harpers\, will perform at the World Premiere. We are also\nvery grateful to West Cork Music for the opportunity”. \n

SUMMARY:To a Child Dancing in the Wind
DESCRIPTION:Trio Táin presents an intimate classical music performance featuring the song cycle To a Child Dancing In the Wind by John Tavener for flute\, viola\, harp\, and soprano\, and Good Night by Henryk Górecki arranged for flute\, harp\, and soprano. \n\n\nTo a Child Dancing In the Wind represents a rare departure from John Tavener’s choral\, liturgical works which formed the bulk of his prolific output. In Tavener’s own words; “The frailty\, tenderness\, and spiritual transparency of Yeats’ poetry inspired him to compose it”. \nIn Gorecki’s raw sounds\, there is a life that slowly fades away with each subsequent step and each subsequent breath. The title Goodnight touches us with its fragility\, but it does not deprive us of hope. \nTrio Táin is a new trio consisting of harpist Aisling Ennis with flautist Vourneen Ryan and violist Robin Panter. They are proud to collaborate with soprano\, Catherine Redding to realise this exquisite programme.

SUMMARY:The Sugar Club Harp Sessions | Brídín
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 11th January\, 7.30pm \nThe Sugar Club\, Dublin \nTickets available here  \nExperience a new ‘take’ on Irish harping from some of our foremost young harpers. Cruit Éireann|Harp Ireland’s Sugar Club Harp Sessions run throughout 2024 and feature innovative\, cutting-edge Irish harp performances from a variety of players\, pushing the boundaries of the tradition in new and exciting ways. \nFirst up on Thursday January 11th is BRÍDÍN\, a contemporary folk harper\, singer and composer from Sligo\, who has developed a unique style influenced by her natural surroundings and rooted in a traditional music background. \nBRIDÍN combines her loop and effect pedals with layered melodies on harp and voice together with fiddle\, keyboard\, electric guitar\, bass and pulsating drums. A frequent performer at TradFest\, BRÍDÍN has been nominated for the RTÉ Folk Awards\, and has over the years performed on The Late Late Show\, Ireland AM and The Tommy Tiernan Show. \n“Absolutely amazing performer! Great music\, so breathtaking when live\, she is one of a kind” \n“And if you want to hear a fine example of the harp in the contemporary folk music of Ireland\, then listen to Ocean of Stars\, the new EP by Brídín.” Richard Hillingum\, Folk Radio \nSligo-native BRÍDÍN carries the tradition of Irish music into the fourth generation of her family – playing harp\, flute\, piano and dancing sean nós. After achieving a master’s degree in music\, she’s continued to develop her own unique style\, bringing a modern energy to her traditional influences. She released her Ocean Of Stars EP in 2021\, which featured contributions from Colm Mac Con Iomaire and Clare Sands. \nHer music lies in the indistinct place between traditional and contemporary. She proves her ability to sway between both worlds and play to her strengths in each. \n“I feel a strong pull to nature and my beautiful surroundings in Sligo when I’m composing my pieces. I’m fascinated by the beginning and ending of life and the constant movement of nature. That’s where I draw most of my inspiration from\,” she says. \n  \n
