Classically trained and rigorously de-trained, Lori’s work moves freely across borders that separate genre, discipline, time, and geography. Lori has collaborated with many groups, including Earth, Nirvana, Mirah, and others.

Her work has been commissioned by and/or performed at the Kennedy Center, Sydney Festival, Cineteca Nacional de México, and other venues large and small throughout North America, Mexico, Australia, and Europe.

Support on the evening will come from Icebear, a 24-year-old experimental artist from Kildare who draws inspiration in equal parts from ambience and noise.

The project is primarily performance-based and uses live improvisation on electronics to explore alienation and anxiety. Icebear’s music is marked by a desire for catharsis, a love of amateurism, and an embrace of discomfort that so often coexists with improvisation.

Ormston House is a meeting place for the arts in the heart of Limerick City. Our programme is co-designed with artists and citizens, resulting in community partnerships, multi-annual projects, and cultural events that are responsive to the city and its context. The group have developed a participatory model to connect curatorial practice with local knowledge and activism.
