Catrin Finch and Aoife Ní Bhriain are bringing their album Double You to the NAC stage.
Dublin native Aoife Ní Bhriain is one of her generation's most versatile and gifted violinists, a dazzling musician who commands both the classical world and her Irish traditional heritage. From across the Irish Sea and the west coast of Wales, harpist Catrin Finch has also built an impressive classical career and ventured into uncharted musical territory, most notably through her international award-winning collaborations. Double You, their debut album as a duo, features an exquisite collection of new compositions that draw inspiration from various genres, taking listeners on a captivating journey on the wings of the bees across the Irish Sea and inspired by the cultures of their home countries.
Each track on the album begins with the letter 'W', spoken as ‘Double You'; the tracks allude to the many striking parallels that bind Catrin and Aoife together, making one the double of the other and affording a deep musical affinity between the two.
Double You tells Catrin and Aoife’s universal story of having the courage to find and be who you really are, and, as part of the process, to create something extraordinary.
