The Cold Trip

“Exceptional things only happen when the passion of individuals nourish an idea,” Pärt tells me. “When Eamonn approached me in 2006 and asked for a new work, I felt this passion. It, and the story of Ireland, inspired me to createThe Deer’s Cry, which ever since has been very close to my heart. I gratefully remember my collaboration with him and his society. The music world needs such committed fighters as Eamonn Quinn.”Arvo Pärt speaking to The Guardian about Louth Contemporary Music's Eamonn QuinnThe Guardian June 2017

The 2025 instalment of the Louth Contemporary Music Festival takes place as usual at various venues in Dundalk over a weekend in early summer. Events start on the evening of Friday June 13 and continue the next day from lunchtime to nightfall.

On opening night, at the An Táin Arts Centre, the Aleph Guitar Quartet, on amplified acoustic guitars, are joined by the astounding American singer Daisy Press in the first part of The Cold Trip, where the performers circle through repetitions and disruptions in a high state of tension. More loops and twists, sending your mind on rollercoaster,preceded by Game 8-4-4, written for the Aleph players. Funded by the Arts Council and supported by The Arts Service of Louth County Council. Supported by RTÉ Supporting the Arts with the friendly support of the Ernst Von Siemens Music Foundation, Louth County Council Festival Grants Initiative 2025 and the Goethe Institute.
