National Sawdust presents: Contemporaneous - Dreams of One/All featuring the US premiere of Donnacha Dennehy's 'Limina'

Live at National Sawdust, Contemporaneous: Dreams of One/All reimagines the idea of what a “concerto” can be. 

Three new works composed by Donnacha Dennehy, Tonia Ko, and Dan Trueman expand the relationship between a solo instrument and a large ensemble. Dennehy writes a startling, powerful piece for piano, performed by Eliza McCarthy; Ko pens a solo for amplified bubble wrap, an innovative instrument she invented and plays; and Trueman teams up with legendary Irish fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh on a piece for 10-string fiddle that brings the history of Irish traditional music in dialogue with the orchestra. Performed by the 23-person ensemble, and former National Sawdust group in residence Contemporaneous, these new works represent a culmination of many years of collaboration, and open up new futures for the concerto form.
