Nomadic Piano Project - 21/11/25, 1:10pm, Aula Maxima, UCC

Antoni O’Breskey with Paahto Cummins, Consuelo Nerea & Ross Chaney

Antoni O’Breskey, an Italian-born composer and pianist of Argentine heritage who has made Ireland his home, has spent five decades pushing the boundaries of music. A trailblazing artist, he is widely acclaimed for pioneering piano improvisation within Irish traditional music and flamenco, blending these with jazz, blues, and classical influences to forge a uniquely expressive and genre-defying sound.

For this special FUAIM performance, O’Breskey is joined by an exciting new quartet featuring leading figures in Ireland’s contemporary Trad and Folk scene: Paahto Cummins (Skipper’s Alley/Ispíní na hÉireann) on banjo, mandolin, tin whistle, Consuelo Nerea (Varo/Landless) on vocals and fiddle, and Ross Chaney (John Francis Flynn Band) on electronics and drums.

Together, they will premiere new material from their forthcoming 2026 album, alongside reimagined versions of the landmark compositions that have defined O’Breskey’s groundbreaking career.

Mesmerising. O’Breskey takes few prisoners in his search for the sublime.

THE IRISH TIMES

Trailblazing … the category of ‘World Music’ did not exist when Antoni O’ began his musical journey.

It’s musicians like these that are at the forefront of reshaping the sound world of Irish music.

He is a man for whom the notion of borders means very little, a genius whose music is without frontiers.
