Debut Concerts in January for The Quangle Ensemble in Dublin and Belfast.

The Quangle Ensemble is a newly formed contemporary music ensemble. Based in Belfast, the ensemble draws performers and composers from across the island in order to produce professional concerts at various venues in Ireland. The Quangle Ensemble was founded in 2010 by Matthew Whiteside and Maureen Doris.  With each member contributing to the organisation voluntarily, the ensemble focuses mainly on allowing the music to be heard by as many people as possible. The Ensemble aims to perform works composed by its members, these are performed by the musicians within the group, allowing for exposure for both composer and performer alike.

The first concert from the Ensemble is setting out to be an exciting one. It is to be a concert of electronic music which will explore the myriad artistic possibilities of electronic sound manipulation.

The dates for the first Quangle Ensemble concerts are as follows:
Wednesday 5th January 2011 7.30pm: Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast
Thursday 6th January 2011 7.30pm: IMRO, Dublin

The repertoire for these concerts will feature works by Matthew Whiteside, Daniel Morse, Ben
McHugh, Daniel Barkley and Maureen Doris.

Tickets for these concerts can be purchased at the door for the price of £6/£4 (€7/€5).
