Field::Nokturn::Chopin Piano Recital, taking place on the 25th June in the Royal Irish Academy of Music, is a celebration of the joint musical legacy of both of our countries: Ireland and Poland.
To conclude Poland’s second EU Presidency, this piano recital will feature world première performances of nocturnes composed by the following Irish and Polish composers: Benjamin Dwyer, François Hildebrandt, Aoife Kavanagh and Paweł Łukaszewski, in response to selected nocturnes by John Field and Fryderyk Chopin. Both the classical and the new compositions will be performed on the night by renowned pianists Finghin Collins and Tamara Niekludow.
The new compositions have been commissioned by the Polish Embassy in order to highlight the wonderful collaboration between Irish and Polish composers and pianists.
Under the artistic direction of Linda O’Shea Farren and with support from the Royal Irish Academy of Music, this concert crowning the Polish presidency here in Ireland, will be a truly remarkable event bridging classical with contemporary music and tradition with the future.
