NMD 2022: 'In Memoriam/In Celebration' NSO & Ensemble Interforma, featuring works by Benjamin Dwyer & David Fennessy

National Symphony Orchestra; Ensemble Interforma - Ensemble NexT; Stefan Asbury, Conductor (NSO); Marco Blaauw, trumpet.

This is a programme of celebration, memorial and everything in-between. The celebrations start with performances of Irish and French works by the Royal Irish Academy of Music’s Ensemble Interforma, directed by Sarah Sew, who will be joined on the platform by the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris’ Ensemble Next for the Irish première of David Fennessy’s Panopticon. 

After a short break, the stage is then taken by the National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Stefan Asbury. The orchestra’s programme commemorates the passing of Louis Andriessen in 2021 with an early work of his. This is followed by a premiere of a new work by Benjamin Dwyer. The finale of the programme is the Irish premiere of Rebecca Saunders’ contemporary masterwork Alba, a trumpet concerto written to be performed by Marco Blaauw.
