About the event
Join us for this beautiful concert with Aoife ní Fhearraigh.
This year, we have the pleasure of collaborating with Féile Oslo on quicking off the summer school with an opening concert celebrating the rich Irish song tradition.
Aoife will be joined by guest musicians and Mná Oslo Irish Choir.
Aoife Ní Fhearraigh was born and raised in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region) of Gweedore and Northwest Donegal is home to some of the most famous names in Irish music: the members of Clannad, Enya and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan. Small wonder then that Aoife found herself surrounded by music from an early age. These early influences included the late Prionsias Ó Maonaigh, the father of Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh who taught her the fiddle. Later at school, she was taught music by Máire Uí Bhraonáin, mother to some of the Clannad-members. The strong local song tradition of Gweedore and neighbouring Ranafast also provided her with a wealth of beautiful songs.
