Join us at the National Concert Hall for this workshop of three new works in progress by Composer Lab participants Adam McCartney, Seán O’Dálaigh & Judith Ring, facilitated by Composer Mentor David Fennessy. This will be the first opportunity to hear these developing compositions brought to life by the National Symphony Orchestra with conductor Gavin Maloney.
Composer Lab is a professional development initiative delivered in partnership by the National Symphony Orchestra and the Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland. As part of the Composer Lab programme composers receive mentorship from established composer David Fennessy and engage in an initial collaborative workshop with the NSO section principals, followed by a public workshop and culminating in a final live performance of these fully-expanded works.
The Composer Lab public workshop offers an insight into the collaborative process of writing for symphony orchestra. Sections of each of the three participant composer’s works will be performed by the full orchestra at this intensive open rehearsal from 10am to 3.15pm.
