Vision & Memory with the Irish Memory Orchestra

Vision & Memory with the Irish Memory Orchestra

Saturday, 16 April 2022, 8.00pm

Dave Flynn’s Irish Memory Orchestra performs by heart and straight from the heart. Bringing together the finest classical, traditional and jazz musicians, it has wowed audiences across the globe with its ground-breaking and inclusive approach to music-making.

For this performance the Irish Memory Orchestra will be joined by talented young full-sighted, blind and visually impaired musicians and singers. Conducted by Bjorn Bantock, together they will perform Dave Flynn’s extraordinary Vision Symphony and excerpts from Flynn’s Clare Concerto. The performance will also include the world premieres of two new choral works composed by young blind composers Keri-Marie Kelly and Robert Creed, performed by the new IMO Youth Choir, conducted by Frank Kelly.

All of the musicians onstage will perform from memory. Without the need for sheet music, the notion of disability recedes and enables each musician to contribute equally in what promises to be an unforgettable experience for audience members and participants alike.

Funded by the Arts Council of Ireland's Young Ensemble Scheme.
Supported by IMRO, Clare Arts Office, Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland and the Hurley Family.

€20 (€10 under 18s concession)
