Alyson Barber's music is inspired by Irish legends and music and the poetry of Eoghan O Tuairisc, Emma O'Halloran's by the poetry of Paul Verlaine ('your soul is a chosen landscape').
Elaine Agnew has chosen the poetry of Michael Longley, imagining a bed as a vast, white snowscape. Deirdre McKay's quartet is visual in its concept, painting a picture of lonely cuttlefish, retreating from the world in a brown cloud of sepia.
Rhona Clarke's improvisations for solo alto flute open a vista for your imagination and Jane O'Leary's interlocking textures for voice and 3 high instruments treat sound in a sculptural way. The concert is sponsored by IMRO.
