It has been tough, but we’ve spent all week long scouring the depths of Instagram to bring you this week’s Instahottie — Fiachra.
Fiachra Ó Corragáin is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, singer, music producer, dancer, researcher, and content creator.
According to his website, he studied Music and Irish at University College Cork. He achieved a double first-class honors degree with final results in the top five highest marks in Music ever awarded by the university.
At the unprecedented age of twenty-one, Fiachra commenced Ph.D. studies in composition at the School of Music and Theatre at University College Cork, specializing in composing music for dance and narrative musical composition. In 2016, he was conferred with a Ph.D. in composition as the youngest doctoral music graduate in UCC’s history.
In 2018, Fiachra was commissioned to compose and perform Planxty Prince Charles in honor of the visit of Prince Charles to Cork. Fiachra has composed numerous commemorative ‘planxty’ compositions, enlivening the traditions of historical Irish harper composers as exemplified by figures such as Turlough O’Carolan.
Fiachra has made many appearances on Irish television and radio on programs such as Nationwide, Miriam Meets, Sunday Miscellany, Feis and Blood, and Lorcan Murray’s Classic Drive on Lyric FM.
