Téada
Conducted by Karen Ní Bhroin
Celebrating 25 years in 2026, traditional band Téada have reached Irish and international acclaim in their time together, bringing traditional music to audiences new and old. To mark their quarter-century, they’re joined for a night by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra with stunning orchestral arrangements.
Since 2001, Téada have appeared as a frequent headliner at major music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Russia, the Middle East and Australia, cementing their role as a vibrant ambassador for Irish culture worldwide. Their latest release on Gael Linn features John C. Reilly and the late Séamus Begley. Now, Téada return to the NCH to bring tradition home.
Performing beloved reels like Ríl Liadroma / The Green Cockade / The Mourne Mountains, polkas, jigs, and the March at Kilmore, celebrate 25 years of this vibrant trad group as they join forces with the powerful sound of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
