A central feature of Music Current Festival is the creative collaboration of composers and performers and the presentation of new works. Music Current regularly commissions new compositions and creates opportunities for collaborative development.
Four new works are presented which were developed in close and extended collaboration between the composers and instrumentalists throughout 2021, including premieres of new works by Paul Scully (CMC Emerging Composer 2022), Jane Deasy and Gráinne Mulvey, a second performance Elis Czerniak’s and the Acceptance of Death, as well as new works by Panayiotis Kokoras (Greece/USA) and Brona Martin (Ire/UK), commissioned as part of our annual commissioning scheme.
Panayiotis Kokoras’ new work for cello and electronics explores the cello’s sound potential using fabricated prosthetic devices that blend composition and performance practice with electronics and instrument design. Brona Martin’s new surround sound acousmatic composition is and extended meditation on the seminal folk music recordings made by the American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax in Ireland during the early 1950s.
