Ré Órga Ensemble

Geraldine Cotter [piano], Eamonn Cotter and Cillian Boyd [flutes],  Meadhbh Hendrie and Grainne Cotter [fiddles], Neil Ó’ Lochlainn [double bass]

Piano player and composer Geraldine Cotter’s most recent musical exploration Ré Órga (‘golden age’) released on Raelach Records, has earned critical acclaim. As well as traditional sets, the ensemble also performs new compositions, arrangements of rare archival material and new interpretations of well-known dance tunes. Cotter’s own compositions and arrangements are deeply rooted in Irish traditional music, particularly that of her west Clare heritage – and are also informed by the harmonic languages of jazz and classical music.
