Dive into a world of sound that is immediate, atmospheric, and deeply felt. From the shimmering stillness of Jane O’Leary to the restless pulse of Erkki-Sven Tüür and the windswept landscapes of David Fennessy, each piece opens a vivid sonic landscape.

Nature flickers throughout, from the moonlit calm of Elaine Agnew’s The Moon to the drifting waves of Sam Perkin’s Nimbus as Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst flashes with electric energy. At its core, Max Richter’s On the Nature of Daylight draws you into quiet reflection and lingering beauty.

In collaboration with the Contemporary Music Centre, this programme marks its 40th anniversary and highlights a selection of leading Irish composers.
