Concorde contemporary music ensemble continue its very successful series of FREE afternoon performances, Up Close with Music, 2pm – 5pm, Saturday,10 March at the Contemporary Music Centre, 19 Fishamble Street, Temple Bar, Dublin. The Series is supported by a Music Project Award from the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
Each event in the series features a newly commissioned work from an Irish composer; the March concerts focus on the music of Elaine Agnew. Former RTÉ lyricfm composer-in-residence, Elaine Agnew, is writing for Paul Roe, Concorde’s clarinetist and the new piece is inspired by the Kennan’s Engineering Works, former residents of 19 Fishamble Street. Elaine is excited to be working again with Paul to create a lively tapestry of sound.
Musicians taking part in the three concerts over the afternoon are Paul Roe on clarinet and bass clarinet; Tine Verbeke, soprano; Dermot Dunne, accordion; and David James, cello. Included in the programmes are some miniature gems from Elliott Carter, whose work is included in each of the six Up Close with Music events. Music by Brian Keegan, Grainne Mulvey, Jane O’Leary and Jacob ter Veldhuis will also be presented along with a performance of Elaine Agnew’s song cycle In the Adriatic, an evocative and poignant setting of Chris Agee’s poetry and the live premiere of Music Box, a 2002 Galway Arts Festival Soundscape commission for clarinet and recorded voices.
Admission is free but seating is limited and advance booking is strongly recommended. To book contact The Contemporary Music Centre on email: khennessy@nullcmc.ie or tel: 01 673 1922.
