New Music Marathon in Cork

A short video extract taken from the New Music Marathon for student composers held in April 2007 at University College Cork Music Department.

The Contemporary Music Centre in conjunction with University College Cork presented a marathon of new music by student composers in Cork on 14 April 2007.

Undergraduate and postgraduate composition and performance students from University College Cork (UCC), NUI Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Queens University Belfast (QUB), University of Limerick (UL) and Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) took part in a day-long series of concerts in the O'Riada Hall, UCC Music Department, Sunday's Well Road.

Eclectic programmes of electronic, electro-acoustic and instrumental music were programmed throughout the day by representatives from the different universities.

The day was a great success and everybody who took part gained from the opportunity to meet up with and network with their peers from other universities.
