Contempo perform Louth composers’ work in the NCH.
The ConTempo Quartet will perform a concert of works by Irish composers from the Louth and Meath area, as well as works by Jane O’ Leary and George Crumb, on Tuesday, June 5th at 7:30pm in the Kevin Barry Room at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. The concert will feature premieres of new works by David Ernest McCarthy, Breifne Holohan, Patrick Connolly and Michael Holohan. Also featured will be Jane O’ Leary’s commissioned work for the ConTempo Quartet, ConTempo Conversations, and George Crumb’s groundbreaking quartet, Black Angels.
Black Angels is a mainstay in the repetoire of the Contempo Quartet and they have performed the work on television in their native Romania. Also known as ‘Thirteen Images from the Dark Land’, it is Crumb’s personal response to the horrors of the Vietnam war. Jane O’ Leary is the founder of the renowned contemporary Irish music ensemble Concorde and, like the ConTempo Quartet, resides in Galway.
Patrick Connolly and Breifne Holohan studied music at DKIT (Dundalk) and are members of the Irish Composers Collective. Patrick Connolly was awarded the Seán O’ Riada Memorial Trophy at the Cork International Choral Festival in 2011. Breifne Holohan was awarded the Bill Whelan Bursary for Young Composers in 2004. David Ernest McCarthy is a graduate of TCD and has had compositions performed both at home and abroad. Michael Holohan has composed a large number of works for different media and is a member of Aosdána. David, Patrick, Breifne and Michael all reside in the Louth/Meath area and hope to stage further collaborations in the near future.
