Something I’ve been working on for a long time. One piece of music. One instrument. An orchestra work – distilled. This is a teaser. The full video comes later in May.

May 15th, I’m at New Spire Arts in Frederick, Maryland – Emerald Strings. Details and ticket link in the first comment.

Eight days.

The preparation is almost done. The work shifts now from building the performance to trusting it.

New Spire Arts, Frederick, Maryland. May 15th. Emerald Strings.

I'd love to see familiar faces in the room.

What Irish music understood, long before anyone theorized about it, is that music is a technology for belonging.

Not belonging in the sentimental sense — belonging as in: here is a way to remember who you are when everything around you is telling you to forget.

That's what Emerald Strings is built on.

And it works in any room, in any country, because the human need for that technology is universal. The music arrives. The room recognizes it.

May 15. New Spire Arts, Frederick.

Two weeks before a concert, the preparation stops being about improvement.
It becomes about trust.

You've done the work. Now you have to let the work be what it is.

Fourteen days until New Spire Arts. If you're in the DC/Maryland area and haven't got your ticket yet — link in the first comment.

There are halls that listen.

Not all of them - some just reflect the sound back at you. But some halls have an architecture that seems to lean in. The sound travels differently.

The silence before the first note means something.

May 15th. New Spire Arts, Frederick.

I've not performed there before. Looking forward to finding out what kind
of hall it is.

The Irish began arriving in Argentina in the 1820s.

They brought their farming skills, their faith, and their music. And in a country that didn't yet know quite what to do with them, they built communities. Schools. Churches. And — always — gatherings where the music was played.

In July, for the first time, I'm bringing Emerald Strings to Buenos Aires. I'll perform and narrate in Spanish, following the Irish journey from Ireland to Argentina — from the 1830s to the present day. It's the most ambitious version of Emerald Strings I've attempted. And I'm quietly excited about it.

Café Vinilo, Buenos Aires. July 16th. More details to follow.

Heritage isn't what you keep in a museum.

It's what you carry with you — the songs, the stories, the particular way music can make you feel as though you're standing in two places at once.

Here and there. Now and then.

That's what Emerald Strings is made of.

And it travels. From Ireland to Connecticut to Maryland to North Carolina
to Buenos Aires.

More on the Argentine concert coming soon.

There's something that happens in a concert hall that doesn't happen
anywhere else.

The music fills the room before anyone is ready for it. And then the room
gives it back — changed slightly by the walls, by the people in the seats,
by the particular quiet that precedes the first note.

These are some photographs from the last few months. Connecticut, North
Carolina, New York. Different rooms, the same conversation.

Thank you to everyone who was there.

More concerts coming — including Emerald Strings at New Spire Arts in
Frederick, Maryland on May 15th, and for the first time, Buenos Aires in
July.

More on all of that soon.
