Also featured on this programme are works by Australian composer and viol player Brooke Green, including the Limerick premiere of Green’s piece Fuming: Johanna Fitzgibbon of Limerick for Baroque trio, inspired by Green’s 3rd great grandmother from Limerick who, at age 16, was exiled to New South Wales in the 1800s for her first offence: stealing calico.
Other repertoire includes Jean Ahn’s duo Archimedes’ Principle and Tal Arbel’s Alchemy.
*Stay around for a panel discussion and chat with Ada Witczyk, who has inspired over 200 contemporary compositions for baroque violin; Brooke Green, whose compositions often draw inspiration from human stories and social justice; and Xenia Pestova Bennett, who enjoys a career as a composer and performer on modern piano, magnetic resonator piano, and toy piano.
This panel will be chaired by harpsichordist Yonit Kosovske, also a champion of new music for harpsichord as a solo and collaborative instrument.
