“Honourable mention goes to the violinist Jane Hackett whose playing of Fauré’s Romance sans paroles is truly beautiful. The audience is visibly moved by the sentiment.”
I am a violinist whose work spans many artistic forms.
Since completion of BA and MA Performance Degrees in the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin and the University of Limerick respectively, my work has led me in varying directions from regular performances with Ireland’s leading orchestras to devising and premiering new contemporary works, broadcasting children’s radio, co-creating performative cross collaborative shows internationally and exploring many ways in which the violin can produce sound.

“The fact that his (Szymanowski) ‘Fontaine d’Arethuse’ from the Mythes was performed by Jane Hackett as a solo violin piece without piano made the whole experience rather more bizarre”

I am interested in developing a correlation between sound and movement.
Being a member of the contemporary music group, Kirkos Ensemble since 2013, has most effectively challenged my traditional artistic perceptions and pushed me to create things from the norm to the most bizarre!
My research and development of sound production in relation to movement, improvisation and performance art has led to collaborations with contemporary dancers, circus performers, Hindustani vocalists, poets and composers. I have been kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, South Dublin County Council, Dublin City Council and Culture Ireland, receiving Bursary, Agility, Individual Artist, Capacity and Resilience and Lyric FM Awards.
I am a core member of chamber collective, Musici Ireland and have recently been appointed as the Collaborative Director, developing the group's cross genre artistic productions and broadening partnerships internationally. This includes commissioning new works by composers, touring abroad and developing a creative ethos for Musici players to experiment and explore.
