Third-Year PhD student, Murrough Connolly, was one of three composers to win this year’s WCCMF String Quartet Composition Competition with his string quartet ‘Ildaite’.
The award provides composers with a generous bursary and the opportunity to workshop and record their piece with a featured quartet at this year’s festival (23rd June – 2nd July).
Murrough will be working with the London-based Calathea Quartet in a series of workshops, culminating in 2 public performances on the 25th and 29th of June in Bantry, Co. Cork.
Murrough says:
Murrough is also looking forward to two premieres of his work before the festival:
- The world premiere of his choral piece, ‘From the Chrysalis’ by Ad Solem (Friday 12th May, Holy Name Church, Manchester).
- The Irish premiere of his orchestral work ‘Litmus Papers’ by the University of Manchester Symphony Orchestra (Friday 16th June, Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin).
