“Serenata de los Andes: The Magic of Peru” by Jean Pierre Magnet
Serenata de los Andes is a tribute to Andean music as seen through the eyes of leader Jean Pierre Magnet, aiming to cast a spell over the audience and inviting it to experience the marvelous Andean landscape and vibrant culture.Serenata de los Andes blends 25 skilled musicians, arranged into six sections: eight saxophones, emulating sounds of the Mantaro Valley; five panpipes dialoguing the sounds of the Altiplano; plus seven violins, Andean harp, guitar, charango and a percussion section. The group conveys the solidness and strength of the compositions, evoking a train traveling to each corner of the Peruvian Andes.http://www.youtube.com/user/SerenataDeLosAndes

Other Voices NYC: A Celebration of Music & Literature
w/ Glen Hansard (The Swell Season) , Bryce & Aaron Dessner (The National) , Doveman , Laurie Anderson , Sam Amidon , Bell X1 , Iarla Ó Lionáird , Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh , Martin Hayes , Joseph O'Connor , Colum McCann , Benefitting FIGHTING WORDS Creative Writing Centre and Presented by Imagine Ireland & The Burgundy Stain SessionsOther Voices, the internationally acclaimed music series from Ireland, crosses the Atlantic this fall for a special two-night celebration of music and literature at New York’s Le Poisson Rouge on October 27th and 28th. Other Voices NYC is presented by Imagine Ireland in association with The Burgundy Stain Sessions and will feature performances by Oscar winning Irish artist Glen Hansard (The Swell Season), Bryce & Aaron Dessner (The National), Thomas Bartlett, Laurie Anderson, Sam Amidon, Bell X1, Iarla O’ Lionaird, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Martin Hayes and many more to be announced. In addition to the musical offerings, prominent Irish literary figures including Joseph O'Connor and Colum McCann will perform intimate readings during the two-day event. All sales will benefit the Fighting Words creative writing centre. Heading into its tenth year, the Other Voices music series is filmed each winter in Ireland, at the tiny, historic and very beautiful two-hundred year old St. James’ Church in Dingle, Co. Kerry. Celebrated Irish and international bands and musicians, along with many of Ireland’s most exciting emerging artists gather in the town, recording in-depth interviews and performing unique live sets to intimate audiences. The series has hosted a myriad of acts from across all genres of music including Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Amy Winehouse, The National, Snowpatrol, Ray Davies, Josh Ritter, The xx, Florence and the Machine, Ryan Adams, Ellie Goulding, Steve Earle, Emiliana Torrini, James Blunt, Rufus and Martha Wainwright and many more. The series is broadcast on TV stations globally. Some say that on a clear Atlantic day, you can see New York from Dingle, a picturesque fishing village at the southwestern tip of Ireland. Visible or not, the cultural connections between this rural Irish town and the American metropolis are undeniable. "The DNA of Irish and American music is woven together, each leaving an indelible mark on the other," says Other Voices Series Editor Philip King. "The gathering of artists in Dingle each year gives voice to that truth." Speaking of Other Voices NYC, King says “There is a continually evolving exchange taking place among a new generation of Irish and American musicians and writers. Many of the great artists contributing to this unique event visited with us in Dingle and found the experience uplifting and inspirational. It’s exciting for us to journey to New York City to continue the conversation and to support Fighting Words.” Other Voices NYC is part of Culture Ireland's "Imagine Ireland" program, a year-long celebration of Irish arts in America, funded by the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport. www.imagineireland.ie
