3: Triúr (In Search of Musical Form)

3: TRIÚR (In Search of Musical Form) follows the ongoing collaboration between three of Ireland’s most distinguished traditional musicians, Peadar Ó Riada, Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, in a swirling exploration of the creative process.

The film begins with the three gathering in April 2009 – before the idea of Triúr even existed – to explore what Martin described as ‘their shared understanding of the music’ and follows their journey over three years; ending on the stage of the historical Abbey Theatre in Dublin in February 2012.

This is the 1st film in Dónal Ó Céilleachair’s ‘An Irish Music Trilogy’, which also includes ‘Aisling Gheal’ (2013), and ‘From Coolea to Iona’ (2014)
