Ó Lionáird is widely respected for his solo work in bringing a unique blend of ancient Irish music and cutting edge world sounds to a global audience.

Goff has lived in New York since arriving on Broadway over ten years ago with “Riverdance” and has made his mark as one of the greatest Irish musicians in America.

Ó Lionáird and Goff’s collaboration will be a fascinating exploration and very much in the spirit of a series which encourages distinguished artists to break new ground.

Masters in Collaboration is a unique musical partnership that allows for talented musicians to create outside the boundaries and pressures of the music business.
