On the Lawns of Killruddery House,
Killruddery Artists-in-Residence programme and on this occasion a Killruddery Members event only
Tickets €15 and includes a glass of prosecco on arrival.
The friendship of Branwen Kavanagh, Anna-Mieke Bishop and Zoé Basha, known collectively as Rufous Nightjar, came alive in a golden era of underground traditional and folk music in Dublin. The three were performers and musicians in their own right and took part in one anothers creative projects over the years. In the summer of 2018, their shared interest in traditional singing led the three to travel across Eastern Europe learning folk songs. During this trip they developed an intricate and harmonious dynamic which has led them to working together on a collaborative project. Having spent the lockdown composing a number of a cappella songs around the themes of mythology, folklore, landscape, loss and the otherworld, Branwen invited Anna-Mieke and Zoé to collaborate on arranging the songs for an upcoming album for three voices. After a development residency in Killruddery House in September 2020, they recorded an album together, to be released in 2022.
This concert is outdoors and will play in any reasonable weather but we are singing for sun!
Limited spaces.
