NEW MUSIC FROM IRELAND - SUNDAY MARCH 17TH CHAPTER ARTS CARDIFF

A Trinity of Irish Musicians and Composers present an alternative St Patrick’s Day celebration at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff. Internationally esteemed Virtuoso Guitarist Benjamin Dwyer, Voice and electronics artist Jenn Kirby and Flautist Emma Coulthard present an exciting collection of Contemporary Irish Music that reflects the extraordinary diversity and richness of output from Wales’s Celtic Cousins. From a new incantation for St Patrick to the shocking witnessing of the ancient Sheela-na-gig, exploring new techniques and sounds, this music, rarely heard in the UK, will challenge definitions and certainly present a fresh perspective .

Music by: John Buckley, Frank Corcoran, Benjamin Dwyer, Jenn Kirby John McLachlan , Fergus Johnston.

Tickets £10 (£7 conc) from chapter.org
