Irish Composers’ Collective: Duos

ICC20: Duos

To celebrate their 20th anniversary, The Irish Composers’ Collective has formed duos that will write and perform their own music.

This year, the Irish Composers’ Collective is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a series of concerts taking place throughout Ireland. To kick off the series, the ICC will be visiting the Hunt Museum on the 25th of May to premiere several new pieces of music, written specifically for a variety of eclectic duos.

Twelve of Ireland’s top emerging composers have been paired off and tasked with writing ten minutes of music which can take any form. This could either be one long expansive piece or several vignettes that are linked by common themes, or anything and everything in between! The duos are comprised of composers from diverse backgrounds and creative practices, ensuring a varied programme of music that will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates both traditional and unconventional approaches to music making.

About The Irish Composers’ Collective:

The Irish Composers’ Collective was founded circa 2003/2004, with two expressed aims: to give young and emerging composers the opportunity to develop their professional and creative practice, and to bring their music to new and wider audiences. Having started in the nation’s capital, the organisation now aspires to bring these opportunities to as many musical communities as possible throughout the country.

Booking is necessary.
