Jane O’Leary’s Concorde and Donnacha Dennehy’s Crash Ensemble have had the new music scene to themselves for far too long. Well, that’s what a younger generation seems to think, with a hive of mostly composer-driven new music activity from Ensemble ICC, Ergodos, the New Sound Worlds series and various other enterprises, including a series of international portraits by the Louth Contemporary Music Society. So far, the diversification has been all to the good.
