Sharon Phelan

A unique and spellbinding performance at Dublin’s National Concert Hall, featuring two of Ireland’s most captivating contemporary folk artists: Caoimhín O'Raghallaigh and Seán Mac Erlaine.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as these genre-defying musicians blend traditional roots with innovative soundscapes. O'Raghallaigh, renowned for his hauntingly beautiful ten-string hardanger d’amore, and Mac Erlaine, master of woodwinds and live electronics, come together to create a rich sonic tapestry that transcends convention. Their music is both deeply Irish and daringly experimental — a testament to the evolving voice of modern folk.

This performance promises to transport audiences through an intimate journey of sound, weaving ancient tradition with ambient textures and improvisational brilliance.
