FEATURED ARTISTS

Antoni O’Breskey – Nomadic Piano Project

Antoni O’Breskey, an Italian-born composer and pianist of Argentine heritage who has made Ireland his home, has spent five decades pushing the boundaries of music. A trailblazing artist, he is widely acclaimed for pioneering piano improvisation within Irish traditional music and flamenco, blending these with jazz, blues, and classical influences to create a uniquely expressive, genre-defying sound.

O’Breskey is joined by an exceptional new quartet drawn from Ireland’s visionary contemporary Trad and Folk scene:

• Kevin Murphy (Rattling Ark, Slow Moving Clouds) – cello, vocals

• Consuelo Nerea (Varo, Landless) – vocals, fiddle, bodhrán

• Ross Chaney (Throwing Shapes, John Francis Flynn Band) – synthesizers, drums

Together, the ensemble will premiere new material from O’Breskey’s forthcoming 2026 album, alongside reimagined versions of the landmark compositions that have shaped his groundbreaking musical journey.
