Musician: Síle Daly - oboe/cor anglais/recorder/piano/vocals

As part of the National Opera House Education and Community Programme we are pleased to announce a series of Evening Classes in Arts Appreciation, taking place in libraries throughout County Wexford in April and May 2022.
Selected musicians from our Programme will talk about their background, training and life as professional musicians - their influences that include not only music but other artforms too and of course, how they are now coming back into live performance since the relaxation of Covid restrictions.  Live performance demonstrations of their instruments will also be part of the talk, together with an opportunity for questions at the end of the evening.
These informal events are for anyone aged 18 upwards - no prior knowledge of music necessary! 

The National Opera House is delighted to be working with County Wexford Libraries on this series of events.

This project has been supported by (Tá tacaíocht ag an togra seo ón) The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas.

Síle will talk about her journey towards becoming a professional oboist – from her early musical experiences to where she is now and how as a musician she has diversified in her career.  She will talk about the magic of the oboe and the psychology of performance with its associated fears and rewards; what makes its sound so attractive, how the instrument evolved, and musical connections with other musicians.
