Máire Ní Chathasaigh & Chris Newman

This celebrated virtuoso partnership has presented its unique musical vision in 22 countries on five continents – at venues from tiny historical churches and splendid palaces in Kyoto and Istanbul, to Lisburn’s Barbican, Sydney’s Town Hall and Cologne’s Philharmonie.

Chris and Máire’s performances are a breathtaking blend of Traditional Irish Music, hot jazz, Bluegrass and Baroque, coupled with evocative songs, striking new compositions and Chris’ delightfully subversive wit.

‘Virtuoso playing…bewitching string fantasies and a wonderfully clear and expressive voice.’ The Times.
