Sam Perkin’s new hybrid symphony ‘Children in the Universe’ journeys “to a place where only music can, where with open ears, we can dream.”
Sam’s work for ensemble and halo track marks the culmination of his time as Composer in Residence with Crash and features their new Artist in Residence, Diamanda Le Berge Dramm as soloist, with visuals and performance direction by Laura Sheeran.
‘What I Was Gonna Say’ by Emma O’Halloran explores the complicated and messy feelings of what it is to be alive. The highs and lows, the irritations, the revelations, the light, the heavy, all of it. A new work for ensemble and electronics, co-commissioned by Crash and New Music Dublin.
