A performance series with a rare difference, Components features a series of new works by Irish composers developed over six concerts. Each week a collection of New Irish music will be written and performed, each piece will be recorded, developed and used to accompany a musician at another performance in the series. This process is repeated so that you can follow the development of the composers work through the series like a serial or a soap-opera.
Each concert from the last series has been podcast on this site, so that you can listen back to the music and hear the development of your favorite works. You can follow a particular composer through the series by clicking on the music link above.
The Aim of this unprecedented concept, is to establish a greater understanding of the compositional process and to make creative Irish music more accessible. It is my hope that these concerts will spark a healthy dialogue between the listeners, the composers and the performers.
Here you can listen the first podcast and the introduction to the series
