Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble: Nieuwe Noten featuring music by Buckley, Caffrey, Clarke, Cleare, Hellawell & Mulvey (Belfast & Amsterdam)
Harty Room, Queen’s University
Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble present a concert of works showcasing some of the range of music being composed in Ireland today featuring music by CMC Composers John Buckley, Greg Caffrey, Rhona Clarke, Ann Cleare, Piers Hellawell & Gráinne Mulvey. Almost all the works have been written especially for the ensemble’s players and so this is a very personal Hard Rain ‘postcard’ of Irish music.
This programme will be performed both in Belfast and Amsterdam and HRSE gratefully acknowledge the financial support of Culture Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland in helping make this happen.
