# Hibernia (Máiréad Nesbitt album)

Hibernia is the second solo album by Irish violinist Mairead Nesbitt. The album was recorded in 2016 at Windmill Lane Studios and Soundscape Studio in Dublin, Ireland, following Nesbitt's leave from Celtic Woman. It was produced by Nesbitt and Colm Ó Foghlú.

The album is predominantly instrumental, featuring Nesbitt playing violin with the backing of an orchestra. Some of the tracks include percussive dancing. The track "To Bring Them Home" is the only track to feature vocals. The tracks are a blend of traditional Irish and classical styles "inspired by the music and dance from the southern province of Munster."
