CMC & CCI Present Ulysses Journey 2022 in Dublin, Belfast, Paris & Budapest
2 February 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ulysses by James Joyce. In light of the importance to Dublin and Ireland of this milestone in world literature, as well as its significance to Paris where it was first published, the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland (CMC) and Centre Culturel Irlandais (CCI) present an international celebration across Ireland and Europe from February to June 2022.
For Ulysses Journey 2022, CMC and CCI invite you to experience new music and film from the island of Ireland, through a programme of six specially commissioned works to be screened in Dublin, Paris, Belfast and Budapest. In addition to the film programme, an international concert series featuring a selection of new and existing works by Irish and Hungarian composers will be performed by Hungarian guitarist Katalin Koltai and Irish soprano Elizabeth Hilliard. Join CMC for an evocative musical journey that brings together composers, performers, filmmakers and other artists from Ireland and Hungary for a programme of new music, film, live performance and talks responding to James Joyce’s Ulysses on the 100th anniversary of its publication.
