Born into a musical Dublin family, Ciara Ní Bhriain began learning the violin at the age of three. Her parents, Mick and Fidelma, encouraged Ciara and her siblings to explore both classical music and traditional Irish music, which was a constant presence in their home.
Now recognised internationally as a performer, Ciara has toured with artists including Birkin Tree, Carlos Núñez, and Frankie Gavin and the Provenance. She also spent two years as a resident performer at Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs, Florida.
More recently, Ciara appeared as a soloist with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, performing The Princess Grace Suite composed by Frankie Gavin. She has also toured Ireland with Johnny Óg Connolly, performing his composition An Cosán Draíochta.
Ciara graduated from Dublin’s Sound Training College with a degree in Audio Production and Music Project Management and regularly appears on Irish radio and television. She is currently based in Osaka, Japan, where she is working on new projects and preparing to release her debut solo album this coming summer.
