Máire Ní Chathasaigh & Chris Newman: Irish Harp and Guitar Duo
On April 28, the internationally renowned duo of harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh and guitarist Chris Newman from Ireland will make a special appearance in West Kennebunk. Both Máire and Chris are recognized as virtuosos on their respective instruments; they are among the most highly regarded Irish traditional musicians playing today. Máire has been called “the great innovator of modern Irish harping, a player of outstanding technique and imagination.” Chris’s 2021 release, Breaking Bach, of solo guitar arrangements of Bach’s sonatas and partitas for unaccompanied violin and cello, has been hailed as “ground-breaking” and “a magnificent tour-de-force.” Their concert takes place at the West Kennebunk United Methodist Church, Sunday afternoon, April 28, from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
