GLOBE // Smock Alley Theatre // 13th April

“Globe is a very daring show, but the good news is that it's equally dazzling.” Éamon Sweeney - The Irish Independent
Globe is a world music concert that combines virtuoso individual performances and the combination of different instrumentation from around the world. The show features world-class performers, who trade and fuse their music and singing skills to achieve extraordinarily original, exquisite and powerful soundscapes. Globe brings forth new connections between musicians from Ireland and other countries celebrated for rhythm and music. Irish music wears its globalism lightly, and from the earliest imports of American recordings at the turn of the 20th century to the current assimilation of European influences by contemporary artists, our tradition has comfortably renewed itself from diverse sources from North America and Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula and The Balkans.
