Steven Bernstein live in Dublin

Experience Steven Bernstein live on July 11th

Steven Bernstein will perform at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland on July 11, 2026. Bernstein is a highly regarded American trumpeter, composer, and arranger known for his eclectic musical style. His work frequently blends jazz with elements of klezmer, Balkan music, and historical American song forms – particularly those from the pre-jazz era like ragtime and early blues. He often leads ensembles such as the Hot 97 Orchestra and Spanish Fly, characterized by their vibrant instrumentation and playful interpretations of diverse musical traditions. Bernstein’s compositions often incorporate a cinematic quality, having contributed to numerous film scores.

The National Concert Hall (NCH) opened in 1981, though its history traces back to the University Concert Hall built in 1882. Located beside the Grand Canal in Dublin city centre, it serves as Ireland’s national cultural institution for music. Originally designed as a replacement for the Antient Concert Hall destroyed by fire, the current building underwent significant reconstruction and expansion in the late 20th century.
