‘Never before had I heard music, let alone traditional music, played like this.’ - Dave Flynn

‘…it was thrilling, heady and explosive.’ - Toner Quinn (The Journal of Music) on the 2010 performance of the concerto.

Following their sold-out concert in 2010, the fiddle and guitar duo return for another gripping performance with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

The extraordinary fiddle player Martin Hayes is one of the most remarkable musicians to come out of Ireland in the last 50 years. Dennis Cahill’s unique guitar accompaniment allows Hayes the freedom to take our simple, complex, harrowing and beautiful traditional music into uncharted territories.

A highlight will be Dave Flynn’s Aontacht (Unity), A Concerto for Traditional Irish Musician and Orchestra.
