In the opening concert Michael Quinn tackles two of
the most demanding works in the contemporary harpsichord repertoire:

stunning 'Pentacle' (both Irish premieres). Soprano Deirdre Moynihan
delivers two virtuosic works for voice and tape by young Irish composers
Ed Bennett and Judith Ring, contextualised by Jonathan Harvey's seminal
electronic tour-de-force, 'Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco', based on
recordings of the human voice.

of the composer. From the submissions and proposals we received from
Ireland, Britain, and from throughout Europe and America and we shortlisted
