New Sound Worlds in Paris!
The innovative and imaginative contemporary music series, NewSoundWorlds, curated by the composer Siobhán Cleary travels to Paris to take part in the tenth anniversary celebrations at the Centre Culturel Irlandais. The festival is held in collaboration with the Contemporary Music Centre Ireland and made possible through funding from Culture Ireland.
The festival includes performances given by the Vanbrugh Quartet and pianist Hugh Tinney (25 October), violinist Catherine Leonard and Hugh Tinney (26 October), and the NewSoundWorlds Ensemble (27 October).
Featured composers include Elaine Agnew, Gerald Barry, Enda Bates, Siobhán Cleary, Raymond Deane, Donnacha Dennehy, Benjamin Dwyer, David Fennessy, Dave Flynn, Andrew Hamilton, Gráinne Mulvey, Garrett Sholdice, Jennifer Walshe and Ian Wilson.
“The Contemporary Music Centre is very excited about the works of so many Irish composers being performed over three days in Paris. It’s a special experience for any Irish composer to feature in the anniversary programme at the Centre Culturel Irlandais and at the Irish Embassy. We’re grateful to both hosts for creating this showcase of Irish works and we have no doubt that the innovative programming we have all come to enjoy with Siobhan’s NewSoundWorlds series will be well received by Parisian new music enthusiasts.” Evonne Ferguson, Director, Contemporary Music Centre Ireland
