Carolan Reimagined with pianist David Vesey

Irish pianist and composer David Vesey has released his debut album, “Carolan Reflections”,

a reimagining of the timeless works of Turlough O’ Carolan. Written, arranged and performed

by Vesey, this album offers a fresh perspective on the music of one of Ireland’s national

harpists and composers, blending classical piano with traditional Irish influences.



Turlough O’Carolan, celebrated as Ireland’s most famous composer of the late 17th and early

18th centuries, holds a special place in David’s musical journey. From childhood, David was

immersed in Carolan’s music, first discovering this music under the guidance of his primary

school teacher. His involvement with the Spink Comhaltas branch in Laois, and Music

Generation Laois deepened his connection to Carolan’s works.



Known for their captivating beauty and emotional depth, Carolan’s compositions remain

instantly recognizable to traditional musicians and beyond. Vesey’s arrangements offer

listeners an intimate encounter with these melodies, infusing them with a fresh energy while

maintaining their timeless essence.
