The Contemporary Music Centre in conjunction with University College Cork presents a marathon of new music by student composers in Cork on 14 April.

Undergraduate and postgraduate composition and performance students from University College Cork (UCC), NUI Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Queens University Belfast (QUB), University of Limerick (UL) and Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) are all taking part in a day-long series of concerts in the O'Riada Hall, UCC Music Department, Sunday's Well Road.

Eclectic programmes of electronic, electro-acoustic and instrumental music are programmed throughout the day by   representatives from the different universities: John Godfrey (UCC), Martin O'Leary (NUI Maynooth), Donnacha  Dennehy (TCD), Grant Davidson Ford (QUB), Jurgen Simpson  (UL) and Eric Sweeney (WIT).

As well as an opportunity for audiences to hear the very latest in new music by the newest talent, there will be time for discussion during each programme and at intervals throughout the day. The showcase offers young composers from universities around Ireland, north and south, the chance to meet up and network.

The performance takes place at the Aula Maxima, University College Cork on Saturday, 14 April 2007 from 2.00 to 6.00 pm. Admission is free for all events. Further information: Aoife Fitzpatrick, Administrative Assistant, 01 673 1922 or email afitzpatrick@cmc.ie.
