This is one of a series of 6 events which will mark the launch of the new Comhaltas Prospectus 2030. The Oriel Centre and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann's 'Aistear 2030' willl take place in the historic surroundings of Dundalk Gaol.
Beatha teanga í a labhairt beatha amhrán é a rá, turas draíochtúil, ceolmhar trí athbheochan ceolmhar amhránaíochta i dTuathmhumhain.
A beautifully arranged, bilingual songline celebrating a 350 year journey through the hidden Irish language song tradition of North Munster, from the last of the great bards to present day composers. Dúchas agus Dóchas began with Diarmuid de Faoite's efforts to rediscover the hidden song tradition in Clare. 150 songs later it has been embraced and nurtured by some of Clare's finest musicians and singers into an aural feast of song, music and story, a testament to the rich well of culture that exists in Ireland and an inspirational invitation to communities nationwide to rediscover, revive and reimagine their own musical heritage. With one eye to the past and a pair to the future, Dúchas agus Dóchas lights a bright path forward, steeped in tradition.
The Aistear Series forms part of the new Comhaltas Prospectus and ADMISSION is FREE.
