Julie Feeney in Concert

Following a 10-performance show at the New York Irish Arts Center

 Friday May 11th at 8:00pm

Tickets $20.00

 

Award winning singer, composer, orchestrator, producer Julie Feeney, winner of the Choice Music Prize for 'Irish Album of the Year' (Ireland's equivalent of the Mercury Music Prize), combines her "mesmerizing stage presence and eccentric pop genius" (Hot Press) taking an avant-garde approach to her innovative, one-of-a-kind sound, which, while rooted in classical music, straddles both the pop and theatrical worlds.

Hailed by The Washington Post as "The Emerald Isle's Original," Feeney is a genuine star in Ireland, with her music widely broadcast on TV and radio and her recent sold-out performance at Ireland's National Concert Hall receiving a 10-minute standing ovation. The Observer gushed that Feeney's debut album, '13 songs,' was "the blossoming of a major talent," adding that "Feeney towers over her contemporaries." The NY Times has called her music "charming, urbane and dreamy" and The Guardian (UK) simply said "the world will listen." She has performed many sold out shows in America, Ireland, England, France, Italy, Germany and Holland solo; with her own ensemble or with numerous orchestras for which she orchestrated.

"An innovator, an original; incomparable with any of her contemporaries" --THE IRISH TIMES
