About this event

Blending deep roots in Irish traditional music with classical, jazz, and contemporary influences, Ní Bhriain and McCarthy chart a compelling sonic path through a shared musical heritage, transformed through their own creative lens.

The album title, Cosán Casta, derives from the Irish words for “twisted path”, reflecting a journey both intricate and organic, rooted and exploratory.

Born in Dublin, to a family of musicians, Aoife Ní Bhriain has established herself as one of the most versatile musicians of her generation. Winner of the RTÉ Folk Instrumentalist of the Year, Camerata Ireland Young Musician of the Year as well as a recipient of a Gradam Ceol TG4 and multiple prizes in both classical and traditional music.

Cormac McCarthy is a pianist, composer, arranger and conductor from Cork.

Presented by NCH.
