Whether you’re a complete fan, very interested or mildly curious about classical, contemporary, traditional and experimental music, Kaleidoscope Night offers a many-sided glimpse of top-rate artistic performance. Kaleidoscope Night is an Irish concert series that has been bringing “Music For The Curious Ear” for more than 6 years now to audiences across Ireland.

For the first trip of the series to County Louth, the series presents the internationally acclaimed Chicago-born dancer, Nic Gareiss, of This Is How We Fly fame. He will share the stage on this occasion with Scottish harpist, Maeve Gilchrist, a musician and vocalist who fuses Scottish traditional music with jazz (among other things!).

Keeping the local Louth flag flying will be Ravensdale-born twin sisters, Aisling and Julie-Anne Manning (violin and cello), who have each carved out hugely successful careers in the musical life of UK and beyond. They’ll be playing the riotously virtuosic Handel- Halvorsen “Passcaglia” and Maurice Ravel’s beloved duo sonata, dedicated to Claude Debussy. The hair-raisingly exciting Dublin-based ensemble the Chatham Saxophone Quartet culminate the programme with nothing less than “New York Counterpoint” by Steve Reich, the second, and arguably most popular, work in the “counterpoint series” from the composer’s 1980s canon. The CSQ will also perform works by Irish composers Brian Irvine and Kenneth Edge, both from their forthcoming album.
