The Byron Theatre hosts Ilse de Ziah and Ian Date for an emotional journey through traditional Irish music. Cellist Ilse De Ziah first presents a screening of the film she made with Maarten Roose called “Living The Tradition: An Enchanting Journey Through Old Irish Airs”.The film shows Ilse’s search around Ireland for the background and locations of many traditional Irish tunes and their composers.
Dynamic, colourful, lush and romantic, the country’s history and politics are never far away in these tunes. Beautifully filmed, the atmospheric and unique scenery of Ireland, coupled with the country’s traditional music, make this a memorable journey.
This screening will be followed by a 50-minute live performance
by cellist Ilse De Ziah and guitarist Ian Date, featuring music from their debut album “Here & There”. The duo will present beautiful renderings of melodies interwoven with captivating improvisation that reflects their deep love of music and its traditions.
