Crash Ensemble/Kevin Volans

Crash Ensemble celebrate the 60th birthday of South African-born Irish-based composer Kevin Volans with a special concert at Project on Thur 9 April. Volans, who gained international acclaim through his collaborations with the Kronos Quartet, including White Man Sleeps and The Songlines, is curating a programme which places his own works alongside music by young Irish composers Jennifer Walshe, Jonathan Nangle and Simon O'Connor. There's a Volans world premiere, a performance of Into Darkness, and the composer joins Crash onstage for Nine Beginnings. www.crashensemble.com
