Is é an buntáiste is mó a bhaineann le hÁras Eanna mar ionad Ealaíon ná go bhfuil sé suite ar Inis Oírr, oileán a bhfuil cáil air mar gheall ar stair, oidhreacht agus áilleacht agus ina bhfuil pobal láidir Gaeltachta a chuireann fáilte roimh ealaíontóirí ó gach foirm ealaíne.Áras Éanna is Europe's  most westerly Arts centre.  The greatest advantage of Áras Eanna as an Arts centre is undoubtedly that it is located on Inis Oírr, an island renowned for its history, heritage and beauty and featuring a strong Gaeltacht community that welcomes artists from all artforms.

Julie Feeney Chuaigh seónna díolta amach Julie Feeney i bhfeidhm go mór ar lucht féachana agus ar chriticeoirí ar fud an domhain. Déanann sí seónna aisti féin, mar dhísreach, le ensemble, le cóir nó le ceolfhoireann iomlán. Cumann sí, eagraíonn sí agus cóiríonn sí a cuid ceoil féin uilig agus na focail uilig. Tá moladh mór tugtha ag léirmheastóirí dá trí albam. Bhain sí amach ‘Albam Éireannach na Bliana’ Dhuais Rogha Ceoil lena céad albam ‘13 Songs’ a chuir sí féin le chéile. Nuair a tháinig a tríú halbam ‘Clocks’ amach in Éirinn, chuaigh sé díreach chuig Uimhir 1 Chairteacha Albam Neamhspleácha na hÉireann. Vótáladh é mar ‘An tAlbam is Fearr’ faoi Albam na Bliana an Irish Times agus bhí sé ar an ngearrliosta don Duais Rogha Ceoil.Ina cuid seónna beo, comhcheanglaíonn sí a láithreacht draíochtúil stáitse agus ardéirim ait pop lena fuaim bhunaidh ar leith agus a cur chuige nuálach avant-garde, agus cé go bhfuil sí tugtha don cheol clasaiceach den chuid is mó tá sí sáite freisin sa bpop agus san amharclannaíocht.Is ealaíontóir cruthanta le fís ollmhór í Julie. Ealaíontóir géarintinneach, nádúrtha, an-dúthrachtach agus taibheoir iontach taitneamhach. Sa gceolchoirm seo, nár chóir a chailliúint, beidh ceol óna 3 albam á sheinm ag Julie agus ina cuideachta beidh an ceoltóir iontach Cormac de Barra ar sheinn sí go rialta leis thar na blianta.Tá ríméad ar Áras Éanna go mbeidh Julie anseo mar ealaíontóir cónaithe do mhí Lúnasa. Is áit é Inis Oírr atá an-ghar dá croí.Cormac De Barra Is ceoltóir proifisiúnta agus léiritheoir/láithreoir teilifíse é Cormac a rugadh is a tógadh i mBaile Átha Cliath. Fuair sé oiliúint sa cheol óna sheanmháthair, an cruitire agus amhránaí, Róisín Ní Shé.Mar chruitire, tá Cormac tar éis taisteal is taifeadadh le cuid de mhór-cheoltóirí na hÉireann, Moya Brennan, Brian Kennedy, Máire Breatnach, The Chieftains, Julie Feeney, Anne-Marie O’Farrell agus Clannad ina measc.Chomh maith lena chuid ceoil, tá Cormac ag obair sna meáin in Éirinn le tríocha bliain anois ar chláir do TG4, RTÉ agus Sky Arts.Chuir sé an tsraith ealaíne 'Imeall' i láthair ar feadh trí bliana ar TG4 agus bhí sé ina chomhairleoir scripte ar an scannán TARRAC le haghaidh Cine4.Tá sé i mbun Dochtúireachta in Ollscoil Luimnigh faoi láthair ar athbheochan na cruite sa 20ú haois. Julie Feeney Julie Feeney’s sell-out shows have riveted audiences and critics all over the world. She performs as solo, duo, with ensemble, with choirs or with full orchestra. She composes, arranges and orchestrates all of her own music and writes all of her words. Her three albums have been widely critically acclaimed. She is winner of the Choice Music Prize for ‘Irish Album of the Year' for her self-produced debut album 13 Songs. Her third album Clocks went straight to No. 1 in the Independent Irish Album Charts on its Irish release. It was voted ‘Best Album' in The Irish Times ‘Album of the Year' and it was also shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize.In her live shows she combines her “mesmerizing stage presence and eccentric pop genius” (Hot Press) with her unquestionably original sound; and her innovative, avant-garde approach, while rooted in classical music, straddles both the pop and theatrical worlds.Julie is a true artist with immense vision. Sharp witted, unpretentious and fiercely passionate she is a genuine artist and a hugely enjoyable performer. This ‘not to be missed’ concert will see Julie performing music from her 3 albums and will be accompanied by the brilliant Cormac De Barra with whom she has performed with regularly over the years.Áras Éanna are delighted to have Julie as an Artist in residence for the month of August.
