Dowry at The Whitehouse

All we Have are Days welcomes Dowry, Éna Brennan's excellent quartet, to The Whitehouse. Éna Brennan is a composer, arranger, violinist and graphic designer based in Dublin. Her work spans choral and chamber music through to opera, with writing commissions for ensembles and organisations such as Crash Ensemble, Dulciana Vocal Ensemble, Kirkos Ensemble, Irish National Opera and Austria's Bregenz Festival. She performs regularly with Gemma Hayes and Bell X1, with whom she has collaborated alongside her quartet, Dowry Strings, performing at venues such as New York's Irish Cultural Centre, London's Union Chapel and Ireland's National Concert Hall. In 2016, she began performing her own solo experimental music under the moniker 'Dowry', appearing at notable Irish festivals such as Other Voices and Electric Picnic. Over a decade later, having taken a considerable break from the project, she is ready to slowly emerge again. She opens Sunday's programme with her quartet at the Whitehouse, before supporting Thomas Bartlett in the Royal. www.enabrennan.com
