Irish composer and pianist Seán Morgan-Rooney has reimagined the sean-nós songs of his childhood. Drawing both from his summers competing at the Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann as a boy and his training as a classical pianist, Seán has arranged 10 sean-nós songs for voice and piano in the classical art song style. Seán’s hope is to bring the Irish language and song tradition to a wider international stage, and to encourage classical singers both at home in Ireland and abroad to explore this vast and precious song canon. Together with renowned mezzo soprano Lotte Betts-Dean, Seán will release an album of the complete songs in 2025 under the Delphian label.
