John Feeley  has been described by the Washington Post as "Ireland's leading classical guitarist." In addition to his solo and chamber music concerts, he has performed widely with orchestras including The American Symphony at Carnegie Hall, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra, and the Irish Chamber Orchestra.

Fran O'Rourke  is Associate Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin.  He has lectured widely both on philosophical influences in Joyce and on Joyce's use of song. He has performed recitals of Irish songs featured in Joyce's work in the National Concert Hall, Dublin (2004) and the Conservatorio, Trieste.

This collaboration brings a fresh and contemporary expression and interpretation to the works of both authors.
