New Music, New Space

There's a new performance space at the NCH, and who better to inaugurate it than the cutting edge Ensemble ICC, performing the newest of new music from the Irish Composers Collective. The Kevin Barry Room, originally part of UCD's Engineering Department, will shake off the ghosts of its dusty predecessors with the striking sounds of music for string ensemble, electronics and video/electronics in the very capable hands of one-time ICO leader violinist Brona Cahill, viola player Cian O Duill, who's just finished touring with the RTE Vanbrughs, Crash Ensemble regular Kate Ellis on cello and Daniel Bodwell on bass.
