Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre in arrangement with Gaynor Crawford and Destroy All Lines
Martin Hayes
Melody meets soul.
Martin Hayes, the virtuoso Irish fiddler and guitarist Kyle Sanna transform long-revered melodies into pathways for profound emotional experiences. Fostering connection between melody and human spirit, Hayes strips away musical pretence, revealing how traditional tunes can become vehicles for personal revelation.
Accompanied by guitarist Kyle Sanna, praised by The New Yorker as ‘first rate’ and ‘versatile’, Hayes continues his mission to reveal how local musical vernacular becomes universal language. The Irish Times predicts ‘in the decades to come, we’ll surely talk of having seen this man in the way others talk of Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix.’
Duration: 1 hour. Please note, running times are approximate and subject to change.
