Beckett Chamber Music Series 2018 Programme
Beckett Chamber Music Series explores the connection between words and music – thematically, expressively, spatially and temporally – inspired by Samuel Beckett's reduction of artistic expression into a medium which is something in between these two things. The 2018 Series brings together an ensemble of Ireland's finest musicians for intensive musical and artistic discovery, to be shared with audiences in three concert programmes featuring major chamber works by Arnold Schoenberg combined with rarely performed works by Irish composer John Larchet, Swiss composer Frank Martin, a new commission by Irish composer Sebastian Adams, and culminates in a performance of Beckett’s radio play Words and Music with Morton Feldman’s 1987 score. The performance of Words and Music is in collaboration with Everett Frost, who produced and directed the award-winning American national broadcast premieres of Beckett's five completed radio plays and features internationally recognised actors Barry McGovern and Stephen Brennan.
