Córas Trio

Blurring the boundaries between traditional, electronic and improvised music, this Belfast-based trio have emerged as a phenomenally original force in Irish music. Since changing their name from mcauley/mckeown/mccullagh in 2023, Córas Trio have gone from strength to strength – releasing their acclaimed debut album, playing a live BBC Radio 6 Music session, and representing the North at the Worldwide Music Expo in 2024.

Hear: Their self-titled debut album

Watch: Their headline show at the National Concert Hall on April 3, as part of New Music Dublin 2025.
