AEDÍN IN THE AFTERNOON

Aedín features American Jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock in the spotlight ahead of his 85th birthday tomorrow. A chance to hear Hancock’s own composition, Cantaloupe Island, as well as his interpretations of Joni Mitchell’s River and part of Ravel’s piano concerto. Yo-Yo Ma plays with Dave Brubeck and Martin Hayes joins Brooklyn Ryder. Stunning choral works from New Dublin Voices and Ars Nova Copenhagen. Plus, great Irish tunes from Mary Black, Alannah Thornburg and The Gloaming.
