Women of Note, curated and presented by Aoife Scott, is a celebration of artists from diverse backgrounds and cultures. On a quiet night in January each year, the vaulted ceilings of Dublin’s St Patrick’s Cathedral are filled with the sound of stunning female voices. It highlights the rich talent of Irish trad and folk performers with their international counterparts, making for a memorable evening. Women of Note sees artists use their voice and song to carry tradition, a cause, or in support of a belief that is reflected in their songs, repertoire, and careers. The sensational Aoife Scott will also be joined on stage by a number of special guests.
