Ireland Promoting New Music
New Sound Worlds series is curated by composer Siobhan Cleary. In this the third concert in the series, Clarinetist Paul Roe and Actor Nuala Hayes present a compelling and entertaining programme of music and words. In this intriguing concert we get an opportunity to hear a new Irish language version of Bedtime Stories for clarinetist and narrator (translated by Ray Yeates) by iconic American composer Tom Johnson. These 12 short stories are quirky and humorous involving a spoken narrative that intertwines with the music.

Along with this we have a delightful work by Irish Composer Christopher Norby based on some short stories by the film director Tim Burton. These curious and funny stories are combined most effectively with the unique timbre and character of the bass clarinet. The programme is completed with a reading and incidental music on 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy' a darkly humourous story.
Paul Roe is a performer (clarinet and bass clarinet) of international repute and was a member of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland from 1987-2000. Paul teaches at the Royal Irish Academy of Music-Dublin.
