Special Guest: Jack Talty

The event will feature a special appearance by Jack Talty, a prominent composer, multi-instrumentalist, and award-winning traditional musician from County Clare, Ireland. Talty has performed extensively worldwide and contributed to over 100 albums as a performer, producer, and arranger. Since 2021, he has been lecturing in Irish Traditional Music at University College Cork (UCC), where he also established UCC’s first MA in Irish Traditional Music in 2024.

The Ceol Ensemble (Concentus Musicus Patavinus)

Performing alongside Talty is the Ceol ensemble of the Concentus Musicus Patavinus. Directed by Sergio Rampino, the group was founded in 2025 within the Irish Traditional Music Workshop of the Master’s Degree in Performing Arts and Multimedia Production. It serves as a hub for the study, practice, and promotion of Irish music, focusing on instrumental pieces (jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes) as well as its historical and cultural dimensions.
