Stephanie Martin

My name is Patrick Geoghegan.

I'm the director of the Trinity Long Room Hub, and we're delighted to be hearing, uh, for the first time as part of her fellowship, uh, uh, Stephanie Martin, who is the very first O'Mahony Visiting Research Fellow in Music.

And it's a new fellowship that was created by a very generous, uh, endowment by Rosemary O'Mahony.

And it's, it's great because we have such a close relationship with music and with the creative arts, and this is a real way of us connecting with composition and with the elements of creativity, and, uh, Stephanie's work, as you'll be hearing, uh, is connecting Ireland with Canada, with the wider world, and in, in very, uh, very powerful ways.

Thank you very much, Patrick, and hello to everybody.

Um, congratulations to the Trinity Long Room Hub on an absolutely magnificent festival that is packed full of events.

So I'm really delighted to have the opportunity this morning to have this conversation with Stephanie Martin.

I'm going to introduce Stephanie briefly, although not give you her full biography, because in the course of our conversation, we're going to cover so much of that, so it's the conversation that will give you that information.
