Between July and October last year the programme brought together some of Ireland’s most talented professional musicians across our six partner venues to foster collaborations and create new music.
Our 2022 RESONATE residencies were awarded to an eclectic mix of artists.
In Baile Mhúirne Pauline Scanlon collaborated on a traditional singing project with Armagh singer and multi-instrumentalist Barry Kerr, with singer and harpist Síle Denvir and percussionist Eamon Murray performing alongside them at Ionad Cultúrtha.
Mezzo-soprano Naomi Louisa O’Connell worked with pianist Gary Beecher and composer Emma O’Halloran at glór, Ennis, concertina player Niall Vallely collaborated with cellist Kate Ellis and Kenneth Edge on soprano saxophone at the National Opera House, Wexford, while Irish-Dutch singer and guitarist Patrick Stefan Groenland joined forces with Irish-Persian group Navá at Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny.
In Carrick-On-Shannon at The Dock, Soprano Elizabeth Hilliard worked with composer Gráinne Mulvey to create a new, comic work for voice and tape inspired by “spam” and classical violinist Patrick Rafter pushed the boundaries of the standard concert format with artist and composer Sam Perkin through their exploration of music and physicality/movement at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork.
And without further ado here are extracts of performances from some of our RESONATE 2022 artists - enjoy.
