Leonard Patton live in Dublin

Experience Leonard Patton live on July 16th

Leonard Patton will perform at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland on July 16, 2026. Patton is a contemporary composer and performer whose work frequently blends elements of jazz improvisation, classical structures, and electronic soundscapes. His compositions often feature extended techniques on the piano and explorations of microtonality, resulting in a sound that is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and collaborated with artists across diverse musical genres.

The National Concert Hall (NCH) opened in 1981, though its history traces back to the University Church which stood on the site previously. Designed by Robin Walker and Arup Associates, it serves as Ireland’s premier venue for classical music, orchestral performances, and various cultural events. The NCH is renowned for its acoustics, specifically within the Great Hall which boasts a vineyard-style seating arrangement promoting optimal sound diffusion. It’s a significant landmark building located near St Stephen’s Green in Dublin city centre and operates as a national cultural resource supported by the Arts Council. The venue hosts both Irish and international artists annually, contributing significantly to Ireland's artistic landscape.
