Hear the Traditional Irish Music Featured in Dubliners: A Quartet

Dubliners: A Quartet

Friday March 29 2024 • 8:04am - 8:04am ET

Vocalists Glenn Seven Allen, Mellissa Hughes and Kathryn Guthrie perform during The Greene Space's production of 'Dubliners: A Quartet'

James Joyce’s writing is known for its rhythmic quality. And of course, music and song are deeply ingrained in Irish culture and storytelling.

So in writing Dubliners: A Quartet, playwright and co-director Arthur Yorinks knew that music would be integral to the audio play. “In addition to the music referenced in Joyce’s stories, I also chose pieces to weave into the play that would amplify the emotional heart of each part,” explains Yorinks. Edward Barnes, producing director of The Collegiate Chorale, served as the play’s musical director, arranging the traditional Irish music that was performed live by an ensemble of musicians and singers.
