At a Masters of Tradition performance, from the opening notes of David Power's uilleann pipes, the listener realizes that they are in for a unique evening of magic and portent.  "Power cracked the heart of the tune wide open, making it unspeakably desolate, yet...beautiful" wrote The Sydney Morning Herald. 

 

“This star-studded concert... brings together some of the brightest luminaries in traditional Celtic music.”— Time Out New York

 "Masters of Traditions lives up to its name...not to be missed," enthused The New Yorker.

The Irish Voice reviewed the show as “brilliant...a stellar cast...the blistering set brought thunderous applause and a standing ovation."
