Tenor Dean Power brings you an evening of songs inspired by the Irish literary and musical tradition.

The settings for these pieces were composed and arranged by James Hurley, who will be accompanying Dean on piano for the concert.

He has now returned to his native Co Clare and has established himself as a solo tenor with a strong track record in operatic and choral repertoire. He has featured in many well-known operas, including Fidelio, Macbeth and Das Rheingold. Dean is also a seasoned concert performer, having performed in Carmina Burana, Schubert Mass in C, Mozart’s Requiem amongst others.
