Ilse de Ziah

Address: Cork

Ilse de Ziah, Irish-Australian cellist and composer has a deep passion for composing, arranging and performing music for the cello. Using traditional Irish melodies as source material, she creates contemporary arrangements perfectly suited for the cello. With the marriage of classical detail and folkloric tradition, this makes for a transcendent musical experience. Ilse is well respected for her interpretation of slow Irish Airs, with her CD and book Irish Airs for Solo Cello. Her award winning film Living the Tradition, a journey into old Irish airs reflects the passion she has for the music and it won best documentary in the Eirie International Film Festival and best music documentary fan award in the Consonance Music and Dance Film Festival. She regularly tours her solo cello performance around Europe and has a large following on her solo cello YouTube channel. In Summer 2018 Ilse featured as soloist in the largest Gamelan Festival in the world, in Java with the Irish Gamelan Orchestra. She is a member of the Quiet Music Ensemble and performs and records with many trad, rock, pop, jazz and world musicians. Her next music documentary is in pre-production, and she has recently published her fifth book of solo cello music, Sacred Irish Music for Solo Cello. More original compositions and arrangements of cello sheet music can be found at playcellomusic.com.
