At Axis Ballymun · Main Street, Ballymun, Dublin 9, D09 Y9W0
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Composer Maccana brings a 70-minute programme of original piano music to Axis Ballymun on Friday 20 November, one stop on a 16-date all-island tour. It suits listeners drawn to contemporary instrumental music, and anyone looking for a quiet, seated concert rather than a gig with a bar crowd talking through it.
The programme, The Unseen Growth of Winter, brings together pieces including “Tras el Invierno”, “Athrú”, “Ven a Mí” and “Tonnta Dé” alongside new work developed during a residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Monaghan. The set includes “Éan”, written in memory of Moya Brennan of Clannad, and Maccana’s writing has drawn comparisons to Erik Satie, Hania Rani and Arvo Pärt for its restrained, melodic style. The show is staged as a formal concert in Axis Ballymun’s 200-seat theatre rather than a casual gig setting, so audiences can expect a seated, listening-focused evening built around the piano rather than a full band, with the room set up for close, quiet listening throughout.
Axis Ballymun is on Main Street, Ballymun, Dublin 9, close to the M50/M1 interchange. No Luas or DART line serves Ballymun, so Dublin Bus is the practical option, with services running along the Ballymun Road corridor into the city centre. On-site and on-street parking is available near the venue.
Axis runs a busy autumn and winter programme across music, theatre and family shows, so it is worth checking the wider listings while booking this one. There is more to explore across Co. Dublin.
