Na Píobairí Uilleann is delighted to announce the launch of Notes and Narratives, a new series of monthly performance-based lectures on traditional music, song and dance by some of Ireland’s finest young traditional artists.
Notes and Narratives will provide a unique opportunity for young musicians, singers and dancers to showcase valuable researched material in an engaging and entertaining format.
The series, which takes place on the third Friday of each month at NPU’s restored Georgian headquarters at 15 Henrietta St, will appeal to the general public, and especially to students, enthusiasts and fellow practitioners of the traditional arts keen to enhance their overall appreciation of music, song and dance.
Lectures/performances will run for up to 45 minutes followed by an open discussion to provide the audience with an opportunity to engage with the performers.
The aim of the series is to perpetuate the legacy of Na Píobairí Uilleann’s founding members Breandán Breathnach and Seán Reid by helping to support and encourage research into the traditional arts. All material presented will be housed in NPU’s archive.
