This unique concert event is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between composers and performers in Java and Ireland.

The premiere performance of Archipelago took place at the Yogyakarta Festival in Java in December 2025. We are thrilled to present it here in Ireland for the first time, alongside a short set from the 15-piece UCD Trad Group.

Composers and gamelan directors, Anon Suneko (Java) and Peter Moran (Ireland), have been working with renowned uilleann piper Mark Redmond over the past year. Together with very special guest, the legendary folk singer Liam Ó Maonlaí, and up-and-coming young composer Viktória Šinkarová, the group has devised a programme of original compositions and arrangements, exploring the intersection of the melodies, modes and rhythms of Irish and Javanese music.
