The Hugh Lane Sunday Concerts :DRAGONFLY- Danusha Waskiewicz, Naomi Berrill

The Hugh Lane's Sunday Concert Series present:

Dragonfly — Danusha Waskiewicz on viola and Naomi Berrill on cello — create a richly layered soundscape, where each performer plays and sings simultaneously.

Instruments and voices merge into a single gesture, where the physicality of sound becomes storytelling. The result is a polyphonic texture suspended between eras and cultures. Classical, baroque, and folk repertoires are reimagined through a visionary language.

Founded in 2021, the project debuted at the Trame Sonore Festival in Mantua and was selected for the Hindemith Competition in Munich.

Dragonfly is a journey through a “sonic atlas” where music is freed from conventions.

Each performance is an immersive and captivating experience, notable for its delicacy, precision, and originality. Music that moves as lightly as a dragonfly.
