Composer Workshop: 'Snapshots'

CLOSED Event

Snapshots is a professional development opportunity presented by Fidelio Trio in collaboration with the Contemporary Music Centre and GlasDrum, and in partnership with Fidelio Trio Winter Chamber Music Festival 2023.

This is a unique, exciting and in-person opportunity for emerging or early-career composers to try out new musical material and ideas, inspired by the oasis that is the National Botanic Gardens, with the renowned members of the Fidelio Trio. Selected participants in Snapshots will have the opportunity to hear Fidelio Trio (Darragh Morgan – violin, Tim Gill – cello, Mary Dullea – piano) play their new material, or try out new ideas and sounds in a collaborative format.

As an integral part of the day’s events, this workshop is a natural extension of the lunchtime concert at the National Botanic Gardens which features the world premiere performances of four works for violin and electronics taking their inspiration from the flora of the National Botanic Gardens, by Grainne Mulvey, Siobhán Cleary, Seán Ó Dálaigh and Fergal Dowling. Participants are encouraged to attend this concert in advance of the workshop.
