The four members of Amerghin combine that experience to create stunning new compositions and improvisations, which co-exist on their set list with music that is older than most nations.  Whether it is music from the seventeenth century or new music being improvised into existence in front of your ears, Amerghin breathe new life into everything they play.

For Finding a Voice 2024, Amerghin perform music by Máire Breatnach, Irish American fiddler Liz Carroll, Italian baroque composer Isabella Leonarda, French baroque composer Elizabeth Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, West African kora player and composer Sona Jobarte, and composer and harpist Anne-Marie O’Farrell.

Song of Amergin (Irish mythology; date unknown)
“Am gáeth I mmuir ar domni
Am tond trethan i tír
Am fúaim na mara”
“I am the wind on the sea
I am the wave on the land
I am the sound of the sea”
