CELTIC CONNECTIONS – RÓISĺN REIMAGINED

Irish Chamber Orchestra

Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh Vocals

Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh & Irish Chamber Orchestra present Róisín ReImagined, an exciting project that pairs her peerless vocals with fresh orchestral arrangements of sean nós songs. Kilkenny Arts Festival and the Irish Chamber Orchestra co-commissioned special arrangements from six leading Irish composers: Cormac McCarthy, Paul Campbell, Linda Buckley, Sam Perkin, Niamh Varian- Barry and Michael Keeney. Produced by Dónal O’Connor, Roisin ReImagined explores the connections between classical and traditional music and reimagines these timeless songs for a new era.

Brìghde Chaimbeul and Ross Ainslie focus on double C Smallpipes. They perform as a Trio alongside Steven Byrnes on Bouzouki & Guitar. Their repertoire features world music not conventionally heard or played on the Scottish Smallpipes. They perform their new album LAS, featuring tunes from France, Scotland, Bulgaria, Ireland, with self-penned works.
