Music for Galway & Galway 2020 present

Natalie Haas cello | Caitlín Nic Gabhann concertina | Ciarán Ó Maonaigh fiddle

Join us for an hour-long live event over Zoom with some of today’s most prominent figures in the Irish cello world as we discuss the history of the Irish cello, the challenges of being accepted into the trad session scene, and where we see the future of cello in trad music going in Ireland and beyond.

This is a truly unprecedented gathering of cellists from around the world who have made a name for themselves performing cello in an Irish trad music setting – groundbreaking artists including, but not limited to, Rushad Eggleston, Neil Martin, Liz Davis Maxfield, Ilse DeZiah, Kevin Murphy, Alec Brown, Leah Ranki, Lioba Petrie, Kate Ellis and Mary Barnecutt.

Natalie is then joined by Irish duo Caitlín Nic Gabhann from Co. Meath (three time All-Ireland champion on concertina and former Riverdance member) and Ciarán Ó Maonaigh from Co. Donegal (grandson of Francie Mooney, member of Fidil, and former recipient of TG4 Young Musician of the Year) for half an hour of toe-tapping tunes featuring cello as an accompaniment to fiddle, concertina, and dance.
