Drawing from the Well Áras Éanna, Birr Theatre & Arts Centre
ITMA presents an evening of traditional music, song and dance in the company of four of Ireland's leading contemporary traditional artists: Laoise Kelly (harp), Cormac Begley (concertina), Edwina Guckian (dancer) and Brían MacGloinn (singer) at Birr Theatre & Arts Centre on Friday 16 September.
Each of these four artists has contributed to the ITMA online series Drawing from the Well, a project which invites artists to delve into ITMA's rich archival collections as a source of inspiration for new work. The 'new work' created by the artists from these immersive archival sojourns is freely available to view online at https://www.itma.ie/drawingfromthewell
