Kilkenny Arts Festival: Crash Ensemble with Andrew Hamilton 'Friendly Piece'
The Deanery, St Canice's Cathedral
Friendly Piece explores friendliness and loving kindness, asking the question, can music be kind?
Commissioned in 2019 and written during Andrew Hamilton’s time as composer in residence with Crash Ensemble. This piece alludes to hovering between things, to evade being pinned down. It explores friendliness and kindness giving you a “tiny bit of joy or even infuriating you” Everything belongs.
