Siobhán Armstrong and Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde

Ireland’s foremost scholar-performer of historical Irish music, Siobhán Armstrong and the prize-winning Donegal singer, Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde, recently began a collaboration to explore the vocal music of the old Irish harpers. In this, their Scottish debut, they will perform treasures they have reconstructed from manuscript sources of the 1700s, including neglected versions of well-known 18^th-century compositions by Turlough Carolan, with Siobhán accompanying Doimnic’s raw and powerful singing on a beautiful copy of an early 18^th-century Irish harp.

Rhiannon Ramsey-Brimberg This year’s winner of the Iain Macleòid Young Composer Award is a lever harpist from Connecticut, U.S.A. She has a Performance degree from Berklee College of Music and will be attending the University of Limerick in September for an MA in Irish Music Studies. Rhiannon Skye (her stage name!) recently began to write for the harp. Her goal with each piece is to tell a story, while still remaining true to the genre’s stylistic origins.
