Sweeney

Approved

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra presents Sweeney, a song cycle composed by Neil Martin based on Seamus Heaney’s Sweeney Astray.  

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the death of Seamus Heaney, Sweeney will be conducted by David Brophy with vocalist Iarla Ó Lionáird and narrator Ciarán Hinds. 

With a text in both English and Irish, Sweeney stems from Heaney's translation of the 7th century Irish saga, Buile Shuibhne.  

It speaks to issues we continue to grapple with today: the clash between the natural and man-made world, and the role of race, religion and family in how we interact with each other.
