Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble Present Ink Still Wet 5
Harty Room, Queen’s University
As is now tradition, Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble presents its annual programme of brand-new works in a concert supported by the PRSf Talent Development Partnership. There are three exciting new works commissioned with funds from PRSf from early career composers Anita Mawhinney, Omar Zatriqi and Amelia Clarkson, and these composer’s works will be exposed for the first time alongside two other world premiere commissions; from well known voices in Irish music, Frank Corcoran and Elaine Agnew. We have a second chance, too, to hear Ed Bennett’s pulsating, commissioned work from last season; this time come along and hear it in the concert hall. Last, but not least, we have a second chance to sample the serene and beautiful sound world of one of the shortlisted works in last year’s 5th Peter Rosser Composition Award from composer Kevin Terry.
