Ireland Promoting New Music's (IPNM) new concert series begins on 30 October.

'New Soundworlds' will offer "modern international masterpieces alongside new Irish work" says organiser and composer Siobhán Cleary, whose own work for solo piano, Fall and Passion, will receive its Irish premiere in the three-concert series' closing concert.

The series opens on 30 October with a recital of solo piano works by Hugh Tinney to include Gerald Barry's Swinging tripes and trillibunkins and Fergus Johnston's Éagaoineadh and works by Ligeti, Scelsi, Cage, Xenakis, Tom Johnson and Pawel Szymanski.

The second concert on 13 November, by soprano Sylvia O'Brien and cellist Kate Ellis, features the world premiere of Andrew Hamilton's Drei Gesänge and the Irish premieres of John Tavener's Lament to Phaedra and two works by Kaija Saariaho -- Petals and Lohn.

The final concert, given by pianist Rolf Hind and violinist David Alberman on 4 December, includes music by Xenakis, Debussy and Rolf Hind as well as first Irish performances of Raymond Deane's Parthenia Violata and Siobhán Cleary's Fall and Passion.

All concerts take place at the Printing House, Trinity College, Dublin.
