Immram is a suite of poems by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill first published in her collection ‘Feis’ (1991). In 2019, Neil Ó Lochlainn was commissioned by poet Paddy Bushe and the Amergin Solstice Poetry festival to set the poems to music.‘Immram’ roughly translates as ‘Voyage’ and is a type of story found commonly in mythological Irish writing describing a protagonist's journey by sea to the otherworld and the adventures during their voyage.
The music combines influences from Irish traditional music and the sean-nós singing tradition, jazz/improvised music and contemporary classical music to create an innovative post-genre style of contemporary Irish chamber music. The musicians are some of the most highly regarded young musicians in Ireland today.
