The annual CMC New Music Marathon takes place in the University of Limerick on 23 April.

The 2010 CMC New Music Marathon will be hosted by DMARC (Digital Media and Arts Research Centre) at the University of Limerick with support from the Irish Chamber Orchestra.

The event will present performances of new compositions from undergraduate and postgraduate student composers and performers from Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork, the University of Limerick, Queen's University Belfast, the University of Ulster, NUI Maynooth and others.

The facilitator and programmer this year is composer Jürgen Simpson of the University of Limerick. The event will be covered by RTÉ lyric fm for a feature on the new music programme, NOVA, and producer Eoin Brady will give a talk on the do's and don'ts of submitting material for radio broadcast.

The day, which takes place at the Irish Chamber Orchestra Studio at the University of Limerick, begins at 12pm and will include concerts throughout the afternoon until 5pm, before concluding with an informal reception.
