Formed in 2012, Musici Ireland have performed hundreds of concerts across Ireland and have been broadcast across the world.

“Musici Ireland is rooted in creativity and exploration. Led by women, we are a chamber ensemble who value deep audience connection and aim to create evocative wholesome performances in both traditional and explorative concert experiences. We offer education and artistic nourishment for our members and always stay curious about the industry we are in, the world and ways we can add our creative footprint. Our development as an ensemble has seen substantial growth over the past number of years. A significant jump in both numbers and creative output was seen during the World’s Global Pandemic, highlighting our determination, resilience and passion for what we do as an ensemble. We look forward to expanding our listenership abroad and developing lasting international connections.”

 

Musici Ireland are recording our debut album at the end of this year. It is an album of chamber works by living Irish composers... none of which have been recorded previously. 

 

This includes: 

 

Ian Wilson Quartet No.12 "Her Charms Invited" 

Linda Buckley Fiol String Trio 

Deirdre McKay Snowline 

Amanda Feery Square movement

Deirdre Gribbin "Before the Moon Shattered and Shone Again"

Liam Bates "EARTHRISE" Concerto for viola and chamber ensemble 

 

Earthrise is a piece commissioned by Artistic Director Beth McNinch which was premiered in Wexford earlier this year. It is an important work, to be adding a fantastic piece to the viola repertoire.

 

Some of our featured artists on the album will include:

 

Jane Hackett, Mia Cooper, Ioana Petcu-Colan, Siobhan Doyle

Beth McNinch, Ed Creedon

Katie Tertell,  Niamh Molloy

Dominic Dudley

Conor Sheil, Peter Ryan, Meadbh O'Rourke

Dianne Marshall

 

Our Producer will be Jonathan Allen, who worked at Abbey Road Studios for 23 Years. He has won industry prizes from Grammys to Gramophone Awards. In 2013 he received a BAFTA sound award for recording and mixing the soundtrack to Tom Hooper's film of the musical Les Miserables.
