Once Upon a Sound at THE HIDE SCULPTURE sees renowned broadcaster Donal Dineen take us on a deep exploration of music in the company of some of the finest makers in the land. Together they will trace pathways to the very heart of the matter in an environment that invites contemplation and deep listening.This inaugural series, presented on the occasion of Summer Solstice features Liam Ó Maonlaí who discusses the traditional Irish song Sadhbh ní Bhruinneallaigh and the musical parallels between African and Celtic rhythms alongside his own personal connection to the harp.

THE HIDE SCULPTURE by artist Garrett Phelan, located at Rogerstown Park, Lusk and commissioned through Fingal County Council's Public Art Programme is a 21st Century Monument dedicated to the people of Fingal and especially to those who give their time to the protection of its environment. It identifies as art with function and invites a range of engagements across the spheres of education, activism and community to enable a greater understanding of the context of the site and the place of art in society.
