Components Series
A performance series with a rare
difference, Components features a series of new works by Irish
composers developed over six concerts. Each week a collection of
New Irish music will be written and performed, each piece will
be recorded, developed and used to accompany a musician at
another performance in the series. This process will be repeated
so that you can follow the development of the composers work
through the series like a serial or a soap-opera.
Each concert will be podcast on this site each week, so that
you can listen back to the music or catch-up on the progress of
your favorite works. You can listen to the whole concert or
follow a particular composer through the series.
The Aim of this unprecedented concept, is to establish a
greater understanding of the compositional process and to make
creative Irish music more accessible. It is my hope that these
concerts will be followed each week by a healthy dialogue
between the audience the composers and the performers.
