Fiddle player Anna Falkenau is performing Seeing-Out-2020, part two in a series of live-streamed concerts from her home in Co. Galway/Ireland. She explains: “So as to, hopefully, see this extraordinary year out on a good note, reflective of all the loss and hardship endured by people around the globe and also with a hopeful note.”
Anna will perform material from Féileacán na Saoirse and I Can Here You Calling, her two most recent albums, alongside new compositions. These are “beautifully quirky, full of unexpected twists and turns, and … a masterclass in imaginative playing and tune-christening alike,” writes Siobhán Long in the Irish Times.

Looking forward to this:

Fiddle player Anna Falkenau is performing Seeing-Out-2020, a series of two live-streamed twenty minute concerts from her home in Co. Galway/Ireland. “So as to, hopefully, see this extraordinary year out on a good note, reflective of all the loss and hardship endured by people around the globe and also with a hopeful note. I remember imagining what 2020 would look like, back before the turn of the Millennium; it seemed so far off, the distant future then. The title of my solo CD Féileacán na Saoire – The Butterfly of Freedom is all about the beauty and fragility of various freedoms and the luck to live in personal freedom; little did I connect it then with the threat of a health emergency, rather than that of a totalitarian system.”
