    Alex Petcu-Colan, percussion

    The National Concert Hall is delighted to announce Alex Petcu-Colan as its Rising Star for 2015.

    Playing over 50,000 notes on more than 80 instruments, Alex Petcu-Colan takes us on a journey through time and space with some of the most colourful and thrilling music composed for percussion.

    Joined by his sister Ioana Petcu-Colan (violin), and friends Chris Stynes, Maeve O'Hara and Caitriona Frost (percussion), the programme includes Donnacha Dennehy's energetic Paddy and Xenakis's powerful Psappha to a transcription of Debussy's elegant Arabesque No.1 and Karl "Amadeus" Menke's theatrical Eine Kleine Tischmusik.

    An Irish musician of Romanian origin, Alex is quickly establishing himself both nationally and internationally as a percussionist of the finest calibre. One of the few Irish percussionists to focus on solo and chamber music, Alex has championed and developed the existing repertoire by giving numerous recitals and working closely with composers.

    THE CULWICK CHORAL SOCIETY
    Sinéad Campbell-Wallace, soprano
    John Molloy, baritone
    The Culwick Orchestra
    Brona Fitzgerald, Leader
    Bernie Sherlock, Conductor


    The Culwick Choral Society is delighted to bring to the NCH their 120th anniversary concert performance of two great choral masterpieces: the jubilant Gloria by Francis Poulenc and the sublime German Requiem by Brahms. Unique among choral requiems for setting passages from the Bible rather than from Catholic liturgy, the Brahms Requiem enjoys an enduring popularity with audiences because of its real, spiritual power. Non-believers and believers alike readily connect to an underlining universal assertion in this great work, namely that it is the living rather than the dead who stand in need of consolation. Conductor Bernie Sherlock directs the Culwick Choral Society with a professional orchestra led by Brona Fitzgerald, and highly-renowned soloists Sinéad Campbell-Wallace (soprano) and John Molloy (baritone).

    The exuberance of Poulenc’s Gloria offers the perfect foil to the Brahms. ‘When I wrote this piece’, Poulenc famously recalled, ‘I had in mind those frescoes by Gozzoli where the angels stick out their tongues; and also some serious Benedictine monks I had once seen revelling in a game of football.’

    Heard very rarely in Ireland, the ‘Jazz Mass’ is an exciting blend of jazz blues and choir. It has been performed over a hundred times around the world since its premiere and follows in the tradition of Dave Brubeck's jazz-tinged oratorios. It is uncompromising in its use of improvisation, syncopation and harmonies, with the choir at times used like a jazz soloist and at other times providing backing vocals for the soprano soloist. The traditional Latin text is given a dynamic 21st century vibrancy as plainsong introductions progress through blues and swing to the final exuberant restatement of the Credo.

    Programme also includes O Nata Lux de Lumine by Thomas Tallis and Devil's Trill Sonata by Giuseppe Tartini.

    Ticket includes entry to a workshop led by Will Todd on 01.06.2018 at 7.30 in TCD.

    Louth Contemporary Music Society at Drogheda Arts Festival presents The World Premiere of Nicole Lizee’s Spielberg Études. Sat 4 May 2019

    Well-known film clips keep breaking up and breaking down. There’s the sound of gentle damage in the air. And a pianist is trying to keep going, make it all hang together, carry on regardful.

    Welcome to the strange and haunting world of the Canadian composer Nicole Lizée, whose work will be presented at St Peter’s Church of Ireland, Drogheda, on Saturday 4 May at 8 p.m. Performing at the piano will be Megumi Masaki, also from Canada and a musician who has been working closely with the composer throughout the last decade.

    The centrepiece of the programme will be a brand new work referring to films by Steven Spielberg, commissioned by the Louth Contemporary Music Society with funds from the Arts Council. Ms Masaki will also perform in two earlier compositions with which she has been associated from the beginning: Hitchcock Etudes (giving a new twist to Psycho) and Kubrick Etudes.

    In all these pieces Ms. Masaki’s electric and intimately sensitive musicianship will be meshing with film excerpts shown on screen, the original soundtracks and other recorded material.

    This is unique and exciting, and the most fun you’ll have at a ‘serious’ music concert. Tickets from Drogheda Arts Festival.

    LCMS – Stations of the Sun –21-22 June 2019 Dundalk Louth

    Composer Kaija Saariaho makes her first visit to Ireland
plus new works from Catlin Smith, Kurtág, Criton and Garland


    On the evening of Friday June 21 and through the whole next day, as the sun shines longest on our northern hemisphere, new music will burst forth in Dundalk. The midsummer sun brings some of the most exciting composers and outstanding musicians from around the globe to the town for Louth Contemporary Music Society’s annual festival of new music. This year, in the image of a ritual journey, Stations of the Sun will follow the solar cycle in a sequence of five concerts.
    The path begins and ends with music by the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, making her first visit to Ireland. Internationally esteemed for her sonic imagination and expressive power, Saariaho works with contemporary digital means and ancient scales to create dreamlike music, loaded with a strong feeling for nature and with primal human emotion. In Dundalk, vocal and instrumental pieces from throughout her career will be performed by musicians with whom she collaborates closely.
    Stations of the Sun is also proud to present a new work by the Hungarian composer György Kurtág, who, at the age of 92, has recently been acclaimed worldwide for his first opera, setting Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. There will also be a performance of Kurtág’s Bach-inspired HiPartita for solo violin, given by the musician for whom it was written: the extraordinary Hiromi Kikuchi.
    Music by three diverse composers will follow in the atmospheric and resonant space of the old Dundalk Gaol. Linda Caitlin Smith’s new work comes out of North American minimalism, carrying a care for detail that is uniquely hers and intensely telling. Peter Garland, coming from something of the same background but going very much his own way, arrives with a new piece for string quartet and tenor voice. Pascale Criton uses special tunings to explore very small intervals in music that is mesmerizing.
    Also to be heard for the first time in Ireland are the sonorous voices of the Moscow Russian Patriarchate Choir, in new pieces and venerable chants. The Moscow Russian Patriarchate Choir, with conductor Anatoly Grindenko, led the way in the rediscovery of Orthodox church music in the late years of the Soviet regime. At this time - when the music was far from approved by the government - the choir spent years decoding ancient manuscripts and giving the first performances of works that had lain in obscurity for centuries.
