Dublin Brass and Eimear Quinn have joined forces for a very special candlelit concert in the Truro Cathedral. Special guest to be announced.

 

The internationally renowned brass quintet Dublin Brass will perform with singer and composer Eimear Quinn at 8pm on 17th March 2025.

 

‘We’re delighted to be performing with Eimear,’ says Will Palmer, founder and artistic director of Dublin Brass. ‘This concert is going to be a real treat. You’re invited to sit back, relax and enjoy a candlelit evening of traditional Irish music specially reimagined for voice and brass.’

 

Eimear Quinn is well-known in Ireland and internationally as a singer and composer. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996, and since then has toured and performed extensively, including before royalty and presidents. ‘It is a true pleasure for me to sing with the Dublin Brass Ensemble for the Breath Upon The Flame concerts,’ she says. ‘Performing these beautiful folk songs in the unique context of traditional instruments and classical brass in the glorious setting of Saint Michael the Archangel Church, Chagford – I’m in my element!’

Dublin Brass features members of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra along with leading freelance musicians from around Ireland. The ensemble is joined for the evening by percussion, harp and violin and viola players adding traditional Irish trad sounds to the programme.

 

‘The concert is in Chagford’s beautiful Truro Cathedral, which sets off the broad range of brass instruments, strings, percussion and Eimear’s ethereal voice,’ says Siubhan Ni Ghriofa, who arranged the music for this unique collaboration along with John Buckley, Gavin Murphy and Eimear Quinn herself.

Songs include My Lagan Love, The Voice, Mise Eire, and music from the Oscar-nominated ‘Room’.
