SIMON MAWHINNEY, the innovative and intriguing composer and pianist from County Down, is to give a concert live streamed from NUI Galway.
The concert is free and takes place on Wednesday May 5 at 1pm. The programme will be four pieces from Olivier Messiaen’s Vingt Regards - ‘Regard du Père’, ‘Noël’, ‘Je dors, mais mon coeur veille’, ‘Regard de l’esprit de joie’; and Three pieces from Mawhinney’s own Solo Fingers.
Mawhinney draws from compositional techniques such as post-spectral and computer assisted composition. He is particularly interest in the large scale 20th Century works of Messiaen, Sorabji, and Feldman and has played internationally with a repertoire from Bach to Boulez.
This is a ‘Music for Galway and NUI Galway Arts in Action presents…’ concert, in partnership with SAP. It will be broadcast from the O'Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre, and Performance.
