MUSIC BY the Galway based composer, Jane O’Leary, will be performed at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, and by Ireland’s National Symphony Orchestra.
This Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5, there will be a performance of a new work being staged at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. It was scheduled to be presented as part of the Mayflower 400 commemorations in Plymouth in March 2020, but did not take place due to the pandemic. The music was written by Jane O’Leary [pictured below] and New York based composer Jonathan Dawe.
.
It will be performed by soprano Erika Baikoff and baritone Timothy Nelson, with a children’s choir and members of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. The project was of special interest to Jane as she is a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren.
On Friday June 11, the National Symphony Orchestra will include a work by Jane in its Friday night live-streamed concert from the National Concert Hall with conductor Robert Houlihan. This work - ‘From The Flatirons’ - was written in 1984-5 and is a concerto for flute, oboe, clarinet, and strings. It will be available for viewing on rte.ie/culture from 7pm on June 11.
