WHAT’S NEW? Our round-up of news and events coming up in Ireland and elsewhere. Performances, seminars, residencies, composer news and much more.

‘NOWADAYS, I TRY TO HEAR NO CONTEMPORARY MUSIC,’ says our Composer of the Month, Frank Corcoran. ‘When you’re a young composer you’ve got to soak up a lot of stuff, but later you’ve got to filter a lot out.’ Read the full interview with audio/video excerpts.

NEW MUSIC, MANY SAY, IS DEATH AT THE BOX OFFICE. But is this because of the way it is promoted? Food for thought in our report of CMC’s seminar on the topic.
