#2893: Traditionally Rooted New Irish Music
New Music from Ireland is in the spotlight for this New Sounds program. Ireland has seen a renaissance in the past 5-10 years or so in contemporary music, with works drawing on minimalism, post-minimalism, electronica, and world music. To that end, we'll hear composer and heavy metal guitarist David Flynn's post-minimalist string quartet “The Cranning.” There's also music from producer and composer Daniel Figgis, along with music from composer and founder of the Crash Ensemble, Donnacha Dennehy. Plus, listen to selections by composer/vocalist Michael McGlynn, founder of the Irish choral ensemble Anúna. And more.
