Téada
Téada consists of Oisín Mac Diarmada (fiddle), Paul Finn (button accordion), Damien Stenson (flute), Samantha Harvey (piano& dance), Seán Mc Elwain (bouzouki & guitar) and Tristan Rosenstock (bodhrán). If you have attended an Irish Christmas In America concert, you will undoubtedly recognize fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada.
A leading exponent of Irish traditional music, Téada is driven by a fascination for the timeless, expressive force of music inherited from previous generations of musicians. An Irish band with a truly worldwide reach, Téada has frequently appeared as headliners at major music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Russia, Israel and Australia. Highlights include a 30,000-capacity stadium concert in Brittany, along with performances at Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia, Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada, Harare International Festival of the Arts in Zimbabwe, and the Milwaukee Irish Festival. The group also received an invitation from the Irish Embassy in Rome during 2008 to perform at a commemorative event marking the 400th anniversary of the landmark event in Irish history known as The Flight of the Earls.. With engaging textural arrangements, Téada, which means “strings”, will have you dancing in your seat.
