Music Current 2019: Whose Music? Public Discussion

In this open public panel discussion, invited guest panellists, participant composers and public share thoughts on current composition trends, performance practice, critical perspectives, and new directions, featuring invited festival composers and performers. This year invited panellists, including Dr Róisín Loughran (UCD), James McDermott (UCD), and Stephen Roddy (TCD) will consider the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on music composition and how future developments impinge on aesthetic considerations and audience reception. 

 

The discussion will be open and accessible to public participation and contributions are welcome from the audience too. The event is hosted by the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland's archive and resource centre for new music, and will be moderated by Evonne Ferguson, Director of CMC.

 

This public event is free to attend and all are welcome. We encourage people to indicate their attendance by emailing rsvp@cmc.ie.
