Robert Zielinski and Manuela Centanni - Live in The Chapel

A concert of Robert’s original compositions inspired by the South West of Western

Australia, including music from the award-winning album Kiangardarup. Robert and

Manuela play also traditional music from Ireland, including music from Robert’s mentor

Mick Doherty, member of the iconic family of travelling fiddle players, storytellers and

tin-smiths from Donegal.

With wooden flute and fiddle, they enjoy bringing you on a musical journey from Ireland

to Australia, with their unique tone, arrangements, unison playing and harmonies.

Robert and Manuela met in New Zealand in 2020, and they have since performed many

concerts, including the Perth Concert Hall premiere of Robert’s original composition

Kiangardarup in May 2024, that received a standing ovation.

The album Kiangardarup, released in November 2024, has been called “a masterpiece”

by Stevie Connor of The Sound Cafe, and is steadily gaining world-wide recognition,

with three silver medals at the Global Music Awards, winner at the 2025 InterContinental

Music Awards and selected at the Apollo Global Music Awards.

Their first music video, Donegal, filmed at the Torbay Inlet, also won a silver medal at the

Global Music Awards, was finalist at the Parai International Musical Awards 2025 and at

the Porto International Music Video Festival 2025, and was an Official Selection for Music

Video Awards Spring 2025 and Apollo Global Music Awards 2025 Season.
