New Music - New Talent - New Trends
27 March 2006
The Contemporary Music Centre (CMC) presents a marathon of new music by student composers in the Printing House, Trinity College, 2.00pm - 6.00pm, 8 April 2006.
As part of the Centre's 20th anniversary celebrations, CMC brings together undergraduate and postgraduate composition and performance students from University College Dublin (UCC), University College Cork (UCC), NUI Maynooth and Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
Four eclectic programmes of electro-acoustic and instrumental music will take place. Each compiled by a different curator: Wolfgang Marx (UCD); John Godfrey (UCC); Martin O'Leary (Maynooth) and Donnacha Dennehy (TCD).
As well as an opportunity 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. A reception organised by CMC will follow the event.
'CMC is delighted to be supporting the burgeoning of young talent in composition and performance in Ireland today through the provision of a platform for new work,' says Karen Hennessy, Promotion Manager, the Contemporary Music Centre.
