Roscommon County Council Arts Office invites professional composers to submit applications for consideration for The King House Piano Commission 2020/2021.
This marks the first in a series of music commissions by Roscommon County Council, in celebration of the grand piano at King House.
The commission invites composers to respond with a work for small ensemble (approx. 4 players). This work must include piano and should be developed in collaboration with a pianist. The 2020 commission (for performance in 2021) should cross the genres of classical and traditional Irish music. The piece will be premiered by the ensemble at a concert during Boyle Arts Festival 2021 (15th – 24th July).
The commission is funded by the Arts Office of Roscommon County Council together with the Arts Council of Ireland, in collaboration with Boyle Arts Festival and in association with the Contemporary Music Centre.
