IRISH Heritage’s Classic Meets Folk series returns to London on November 13 with a real family feel.
It features Fionnuala Moynihan (pictured) on piano and her brother Donncha Moynihan on guitar.
Fionnuala and Donncha are members of a hugely talented musical family from Cork, six members of which are successful professional musicians. They have both pursued highly successful careers as international performers in classical and traditional music as well as following may other musical avenues. This is their first appearance together in Britain.
The programme will include some of Ireland’s most cherished traditional songs, arranged and performed by both Fionnuala and Donncha in a unique classical-trad fusion style, interspersed with Fionnuala’s Muzio Clementi’s virtuosic piano sonatas.
Fionnuala’s debut CD, The Ivory Lady, recorded in Donncha’s recording studio (The Rise Studio in Cork) is due to be released on Claddagh Records in early November.
Two of her own compositions from the CD will be performed at the Irish Heritage Classic Meets Folk concert at Bolivar Hall, Grafton Way, London W1T 5DL from 7.30pm. Tickets £15. *Students and musicians £5 when booked online from www.irishheritage.co.uk
