“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

FOLKS' MUSIC

5 concerts over 2 days featuring the best music for everyone

On Saturday things get busy. At one o’clock the Explore Ensemble are in jail – the clean, intimate space of Dundalk Gaol. Their concert includes a new piece for string quartet and electronics by Irish live wire Sam Perkin, but most of the music is by Clara Iannotta: two urgently whispering quartets, both quite different, but both of them leading you along with the dream logic of a David Lynch movie. No wonder Iannotta is one of the most sought-after composers in Europe today.Programme is:Clara Iannotta – A Failed Entertainment (16′)Oliver Leith – Blurry wake song (5′)Sam Perkin – Awe (10′) world premiereClara Iannotta – dead wasps in the jam-jar (iii) (13′)Funded by the Arts Council and Create Louth. Supported by RTÉ Supporting the Arts and with the friendly support of Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.
