The Centre Culturel Tibetain sarl has announced a concert involving Irish songs and Tibetan music that is being held at the Bistro Oekosoph (Oekozenter, 16 Rue Vauban, L-2663 Luxembourg-Pfaffenthal) on Saturday 30 January 2016 at 18:00.
The concert will feature musicians Brendan Hearty, Oliver Tennyson and Yangmo Tso.
Brendan Hearty's early years brought him under the influence of legendary Louth fiddle player Peter McArdle playing in Marks bar, Dundalk, where many of the country’s finest musicians gathered during the early seventies. He has toured with many fine musicians in Europe, USA and Australia. Brendan's interest in early American traditional music led to his involvement with The Higgler's Jug Band with whom he recorded two albums. Brendan is a unique singer and song writer, and fronts the Brendan Hearty Band, well known in the West of Ireland. He also performs regularly with Andrew MacNamara.
Oliver Tennyson plays mandolin, concertina and harmonica . He sings traditional and original self penned compositions. He also makes mandolins and works in the visual arts.
Oliver and Brendan first met more than forty years ago and share a simple love and respect for music which is grounded and hopefully without contrivance.
Yangmo Tso is a young Tibetan singer who is performing regularly and with great joy on special occasions such as Dalai Lama's birthday, Tibetan New Year, weddings or Tibetan special days.
Tibetan food will also be available for purchase at the event.
Tickets cost €15. Reservations by email: events@tibetculture.lu.
