NewSoundWorlds

Two concerts coming up in the NewSoundWorlds Spring Series at the NCH’s Kevin Barry Room. On Tue 20 April (ash cloud permitting) New York based pianist Isabelle O’Connell plays a programme built around George Crumb’s masterful Makrokosmos. Violinist Darragh Morgan teams up with pianist John Tilbury on Tue 4 May for 80 minutes of Morton Feldman’s iconic For John Cage. www.nch.ie And if Feldman’s mesmeric music grabs your imagination, check out the current exhibition at Imma, Vertical Thoughts: Morton Feldman and the Visual Arts. www.modernart.ie. Meanwhile the Irish Composers Collective are at the NCH on Mon 26 April with new music by David Bremner, Amanda Feery, Richard Gill, Bill Mc Grath, Emma O’ Halloran and Dylan Rynhart, performed by clarinetist Paul Roe and guitarist Philip Lawson.
