MUSIC CURRENT 2024: Black Page Orchestra - Dream Work

Black Page Orchestra: Florian Fennes, clarinets / saxophones; Ruben Mattia Santorsa, e-guitar; Alfredo Ovalles, piano / keyboard; Igor Gross, percussion; Matthias Kranebitter, electronics.

Austrian new music group Black Page Orchestra are renowned for their bold and fearless approach to music commissioning, programming and performance. Well-established on the continental festival circuit, here, on their first visit to Ireland, Black Page Orchestra present three works by composers closely associated with the ensemble – Mirela Ivicevic (Croatia), Matthias Kranebitter (Austria), and Vladimir Gorlinski (Russia) – as well as three new commissions written specially for this event, including a new work by Peter Ablinger (Austria), perhaps one of the most recognisable and poetic voices in contemporary music, and two new Black Page Orchestra commissions by CMC composers Amanda Feery and Fergal Dowling.
