Singing in Kilmaley
A singing project run by Kilmaley Voluntary Housing Association and Clare County Council’s Arts Office will result in a singing recital at Kilmaley Inn, on 20 February at 7:30pm, followed by an open session. The traditional singer, John Tunney, has been working with residents of Kilmaley Daycare Centre to compose new songs in a Traditional style inspired by Kilmaley (near Ennis, Co. Clare) and its people over the last six months. The project, which is funded through the Per Cent for Art Scheme, has been documented by the photographer and accordion player, Christy McNamara. www.clarelibrary.ie/arts.htm

National Music Symposium
The National Music Symposium will take place at St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra, Dublin on Saturday, 24 March. A key element of the Symposium will be the presentation of findings from the Local Authorities and Music: Knowing the Score report written by Ailbhe Kenny on a two-year partnership initiative with Sligo County Council, Wexford County Council and St. Patrick's College. Other speakers include Marc Jaffrey of Music Manifesto (England) and Martin Drury of the Arts Council of Ireland. The Symposium will also feature a performance of the music of Rachel Holstead by the Irish Baroque Orchestra with soloists Gerry O'Connor (fiddle) and Sarah Sexton (baroque violin) and a performance by Aspiro, formerly the Carlow Young Artists Choir. www.artscope.ie

Enda Bates selected by Gaudeamus
Enda Bates' String Quartet no. 1 (2008) has been selected for performance at the International Gaudeamus Music Week 2009. Bates, originally from Tipperary but now based in Dublin, is a composer of instrumental and electronic music and is currently pursuing a PhD in Spatial Music Composition at Trinity College, Dublin as well as performing with the band Spook of the Thirteenth Lock and developing a hexaphonic guitar. The work in question, for string quartet and electronics was first performed by the Spatial Music Collective in June 2008. Reviewing the concert for JMI (http://thejmi.com/article/844), Rob Casey wrote, 'Bates’ was possibly the most crafted work of the evening, concise and efficient in its exploration of blocks of glissandi that climbed endlessly like the staircases in a M.C. Escher engraving. Bates’ work ... gave the impression of a single idea being wrung dry by the composer, as if turned over and examined from all angles and teased out to its very limits on the page.' The International Gaudeamus Week 2009 takes place in Amsterdam on 7–13 September. www.myspace.com/endabates

Ian Wilson Lectures
The last in the current series of lectures on contemporary music by Ian Wilson takes place this week on Wednesday, 18 February at the Yeats Memorial Building, Sligo at 8:00pm. Born in Belfast, Ian Wilson is a composer and has been Director of the Sligo New Music festival since 2002. Wilson has also been a regular contributor to JMI since the very first issue.
