Music for Galway presents: TOTEMIC - Viola & Percussion, featuring works by Ian Wilson and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly

Nathan Sherman, viola; Alex Petcu, percussion.

This programme, based around Luciano Berio’s Naturale, is a world of hypnotic sounds, street vendor songs, yearning melodies, and joyous dances.  Berio’s work uses Sicilian folk music as its inspiration, and is a reflection on the joys, and often harsh realisms of life. TOTEMIC by Ian Wilson is a new perspective on the Irish folk idiom, and a contrast to the gamelan sounds of One Thing I Know by Benedict Schlepper-Connolly.  This concert will include the world premiere of Iarann by the Dutch-based Australian composer Kate Moore whose works are engaged with what lies beneath the surface. Iarann is inspired by St. Brigid.
