“..Bóthar na Smaointe confirms Ní Bhriain’s reputation as virtuoso musician; more importantly, it expands her credentials as a composer-arranger of note. It deserves to be heard again and again.” The Journal of Music 09/12/25 

Stiúideo Cuan is delighted to be working with the incredible Aoife Ní Bhriain and Colm Ó Foghlú to tour these two stunning new works nationally and internationally this Autumn. We are especially delighted to honour the late Charlie Lennon by presenting these commissions in his memory. 

Commissioned and produced by Stiúideo Cuan, both of these new works feature a world-class ensemble, including Aoife Ní Bhriain (violin), Mick O’Brien (uileann pipes), Dan Bodwell (double bass), Stephanie Keane (dancer), Steve Hamilton (piano), Colm Ó Foghlú (piano), Patrick Flanaghan (Cor Anglais), Noreen O'Donoghue (harp), and the Castle String Ensemble (Katie O'Connor (violin), Aoife Ní Dhornáin (violin) Karen Dervan (viola), & Paula Hughes (cello). 

Stiúideo Cuan functions as an advocate for local and regional artists on a national level by creating opportunities for artists to create new work and to present this work to a national & international audiences. 

Bronann Stiúideo Cuan coimisiún nua ar chumadóirí comhaimseartha gach bliain agus tá ríméad orainn an dhá shaothar nua seo, a cumadh le dhá bhliain anuas a thabhairt ar chamchuairt náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta an Fómar seo. 

Is saothar nua ceoil é Bóthar na Smaointe a thugann léargas uathúil ar an tionchur a bhí ag an gceol clasaiceach agus ag an gceol traidisiúnta ar Aoife agus í ag forbairt mar dhuine de na ceoltóirí is cumasaí ar domhan, sa dá séanra ceoil seo. 

Tá An Uile Bhealach Abhaile fréamhaithe i ndúchas Choilm agus an tionchur a bhí ag ceantar Charna agus Iorras Aithneach air agus é óg. 

Tá an camchuairt seo curtha i láthair i gcomhar leis an Chomhairle Ealaíon.
