We had the pleasure of working with ISL interpreter Caoimhe Coburn Gray who signed both the ‘You Heard It First’ Crash Works discussions, and the live performance, at New Music Dublin 2024.
‍
Curious ears were welcomed to join Crash Ensemble, as we gave a first look at musical sketches of newly commissioned works from Crash Works creators - Aleksandr Nisse, Aoife King, Cathal O’Riordan, Lara Weaver, and Tim Doyle.
‍
This unique open session cast a light on the genesis of the creative process of 5 music creators exploring ideas of our relationship to the environment, sustainability, and climate action.
‍
Crash Works is a commission and development hub for music creators at pivotal stages of their careers. A collaboration between Crash Ensemble and New Music Dublin, Crash Works offers a range of mentoring and supports, culminating in a commission for full ensemble by each creator to be premiered at New Music Dublin in 2025.
