The September-October issue of the Journal of Music in Ireland is now available.

In this issue, composer Michael McGlynn asks if Ireland has 'the vision to develop a choral community that will be the envy of the world'.

John McLachlan visits the new music scenes of South Africa and Stuttgart and asks if we are Ôactually doing anything interesting or provocative in this country', while Breandón Ó hEaghra reviews Project '06 and the Galway Arts Festival.

JMI also includes a two-month guide to concerts, festivals, sessions, talks and seminars, as well as comprehensive listings of new CDs, DVDs, books and scores.
