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

“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.”

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 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/Seamas Hyland) on synthesizers and drums.

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