Cumasc is a series that allows us to experience the creative nexus of musical collaboration, by bringing us to the centre of those powerful moments where invention meets imagination.
This is a loving portrait not only of musical traditions shared across borders and oceans, but of the limitless potential of the creative spirit.
Director Mia Mullarkey says:
“We brought musicians of diverse traditions together for one day, in a merging of musical cultures and creative freedom. We asked them to create two pieces, and ‘Cumasc’ is what unfolded. While filming the series, I had incredibly rich conversations with renowned musicians such as Iarla Ó’Lionáird, Zoë Conway, Renaud Garcia Fons and John Francis Flynn. It was a great pleasure observing masterful artists weaving their melodies and traditions together, listening to their insights on the emotions, the craft, the heritage of music. I have no doubt that music-lovers are going to feel moved and inspired when they get to watch Cumasc Season 2.”
