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
