The event will feature multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist Juniper Hill and guitarist-constructor Han-earl Park; flautist Síofra Fitzgerald and guitarist Kevin Terry’s collision of interpretation and extemporization; and vocalist Veronica Tadman and technologist Piaras Hoban’s heterogeneous troupe.

Come along and make the Stet Lab 2008/9 season go out with a bang, fizz, clang, buzz, bloop and bleep!
