Irish Composers’ Collective | October Concert

DATE: 21st October 2010
TIME: 20:30 (pre-concert talk: "Traditional Instruments in Contemporary Composition" 20:00)
VENUE: Kevin Barry Room, National Concert Hall, Dublin

 

This October the Irish Composers' Collective concert is all about the harp. Renowned harpist Anne-Marie O'Farrell will present new works for both classical and lever harps. Composers Johanne Heraty, Daniel Barkley, Marc Tweedie, Piaras Hoban and Hugh Boyle have all composed new music for one of the lesser encountered solo instruments. What's more, Ian McDonnell will premiere an electronic work with material derived directly from the harp itself. An evening taking us from the very old to the very new, it's not one to be missed.

Tickets €10 and €5 (student ID must be presented to obtain discount) may be purchased from the National Concert Hall Box Office online at www.nch.ie , in person or by telephone +353 (0)1 4170000.
