New Music Dublin: NSOI play Bennett, Tabakova & Birtwistle

As part of the annual New Music Dublin festival, National Symphony Orchestra Ireland present two major Irish premieres united by reflections on nature, time and the forces that shape our natural world, alongside a world premiere commissioned by National Symphony Orchestra Ireland and New Music Dublin, by Irish composer Ed Bennett. Characterised by its strong rhythmic energy, extreme contrasts and the combination of acoustic, electronic and multimedia elements, Ed Bennett’s music was described by The Guardian as ‘unclassifiable, raw-nerve music of huge energy and imagination’.
