Dublin City

11 June 2013 - 22 August 2013

The Steeple Sessions is a series of candle-lit acoustic concerts held twice weekly during the Summer months at The Unitarian Church on St. Stephen's Green in the heart of Dublin City. The series presents traditional Irish music in its purest form performed by World class Irish musicians in solo, duet, trio and group collaborations in the intimate setting of a beautiful candle-lit church. The 2013 program showcases traditional music with a variety of flavours from a diverse line up, many of whom travel extensively and whose music has been influenced and enriched by different musical genres and folk traditions across the World. Audiences will hear pin-drop unaccompanied sean-nós songs in the Irish language, acapella style harmonies and American old time melodies. Irish dance music and airs are performed acoustically on traditional instruments including harp, uilleann pipes, fiddle, concertina and flute. Many performers are fluent Irish speakers. Some are composers, songwriters and story-tellers and enjoy telling the tales and insights of their interesting musical journeys. Concerts are child friendly and alcohol free. A percentage of all box office revenue goes directly to the Unitarian Church Organ Restoration Fund
