Traditional Irish Music
Atlantic Arc Orchestra is a specially commissioned Irish collaborative project that brings together some of the world’s most respected traditional musicians. The group is a traditional collaboration with artists from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany and they are about to embark on a 5 date tour of Ireland supported by the Arts Council's Touring Award (Traditional Arts) with concerts in Derry, Dingle, Cork, Belfast and Limerick.
They say that they will be "spearheading a new wave of traditional music, dedicated to an entirely new, suspense-charged relationship between the traditional and the modern. Through a programme of original, traditional, re-arranged and shared material, the eight members of the ensemble create a powerful fusion that pushes the tradition to the edge of its boundaries in an organic collaboration of Irish, Scottish and Breton musical ancestry."
"Deconstructing barriers, while outwardly exploring questions of identity and environment, the eight members have
cultivated a unique process of openness and curiosity towards new ‘traditional’ music. The creative process is an
improvisational journey of Celtic synergies, its rhythms, melodies and songs. Together these figureheads of the tradition
form an extraordinary ensemble for a musically charged experience that redefines brilliance."
