Claudia Schwab
Born in the green heart of Austria, Claudia Schwab is an award-winning fiddle player, singer, yodeller and composer based in Sligo.
Never shy of crossing borders between genres, traditions and conventions, Claudia's solo show presents an introspective body of folk-inspired songs with experimental elements. Amalgamating aspects of the worlds of Irish, Austrian, and Indian Classical music traditions, her compositions are interwoven with sound samples collected at home in Sligo, as well as during arts residencies across the globe. Claudia's masterful use of fiddle, loops, drones, piano and vocals, allows her to create an undeniably unique and atmospheric world of sound, mesmerising audiences with her authenticity, versatility and vitality.
