The event will be followed by a networking reception.
The Creative Europe Desk Ireland team work to make the Creative Europe programme more accessible to the Irish creative and cultural sectors. Through our Culture and MEDIA Offices we give advice, support and information on Creative Europe funding calls to the Irish audiovisual and cultural sectors. The Culture Office encourages participation in the Culture and cross-sectoral strands and aims to reach as many organisations, artists and cultural professionals as possible. The Creative Europe Culture Office is based in the Arts Council of Ireland.
Agustina Taborda is an Argentinian musician based in Galway, Ireland. Her main instrument is the bandoneón, deeply rooted in Argentine folk and tango traditions, which has shaped much of her musical journey. She performed in tango groups and orchestras including Vito Sputnik, Duelo Criollo, Quinteto Gabriel de Pedro, Orquesta de Señoritas, and Papas C. Beyond tango, she has explored the bandoneón in other genres, collaborating with artists and projects such as Rodney Owl, Bajomundo, Jamie Toomey, Mila Maia, Poca y Agus, The Curly Organ, Treo Ensemble, Baile an Salsa, the Donegal Chamber Orchestra, and the Galway Traditional Orchestra. She also regularly composes and improvises piano music for silent films at Silent Cinema Galway.
In recent years she has incorporated keys and electronic instruments into her practice, resulting in her solo album I bhfad ar shiúl (2020) and the collaborative project Por Mercurio (2022) with DJ/composer Ana Helder and bassist Valentín Prieto.
