PHOENIX RISING AT THE NATIONAL CONCERT HALL, DUBLIN
September 4th. A special evening of piano and traditional music Phoenix Rising: The Music of Micheal O Suilleabhain
One of Ireland’s most accomplished musicians and composers, Mícheál Ó Suilleabháin, joins the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and a top line–up of Irish musicians for an evening of his most vibrant and evocative music.
This captivating programme features Mícheál’s Phoenix Rising Suite – the score to the documentary Pioneers and Aviators – premiered earlier this year with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
Sean–nós master Iarla Ó Lionáird lends his striking voice to traditional airs in Mícheál’s gorgeous arrangements. Soprano Deirdre Moynihan, New Dublin Voices and world–renowned sax player Kenneth Edge perform the poignant Madison’s Descent. Ó Suilleabháin’s Termon is brought to life by uilleann piper Pádraic Keane, while Mícheál performs his exhilarating Must Be More on piano.
