Music Network presents: Jennifer Stumm's "An Imperfect Instrument" (Tour), featuring a new work by Jonathan Nangle

Jennifer Stumm; viola.

A solo recital with narrative, specially designed for this Music Network tour from 29 March — 6 April 2022 with performances in Bray, Dublin, Roscommon, Clifden, Listowel, Waterford.

Weaving together music and spoken word on her 16th century viola, Jennifer Stumm will perform pieces ranging from Bach to Sting, as well as a new Music Network commission by Irish composer Jonathan Nangle. In this mix of talk and performance, the acclaimed violist tells a musical story of how imperfection can be the very thing that gives us our voice.
