Continuing our series of online videos, presented by some of Ireland's best-known musicians, we kick off 2021 with Zoë Conway (fiddle/violin) and John McIntyre (guitar) coming to us from their home in the Cooley Mountains.
Zoë and John have been praised on BBC as "simply one of the best folk duos on the planet". While Zoë and John would primarily be regarded as Traditional Irish Musicians; when performing and composing, they draw from classical, jazz, world music and other genres.
In these videos, each musician will tell you a little about themselves and their instruments.
These videos are aimed at children of primary school age but can be enjoyed by all.
And all ages will thoroughly enjoy Zoë and John's performance at the end of the video. Even though filmed in their home with no audience, their performance is so full of energy, that it almost feels like you're at a live gig!
Ask your children to listen out to the prices of the world's most expensive violins and guitars! Wow, you'd need to start saving!!
When live gigs can resume again, don't worry, a return visit from Zoë and John to the National Opera House will definitely be on our list.
This series was made possible by the generous donation of a National Opera House patron.
Enjoy, stay safe and let's keep in touch!
From all at the National Opera House.
