Eamonn Quinn’s Louth Contemporary Music Society is presenting a two-day festival of “beautiful, profound music by contemporary composers from across the globe”. There are some classics, Gavin Bryars’s Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet and Arvo Pärt’s Stabat Mater, both in the closing concert. The Pärt will be performed in just intonation, and acoustically pure tuning will feature also in Wolfgang Schweinitz’s KLANG auf Schön Berg La Monte Young. New pieces by Karen Tanaka, Linda Buckley, Michel Pisaro, Rebecca Saunders, Salvatore Sciarrino, Gérard Pesson and Galina Grigorjeva are liberally spread throughout the two days. The performers include Gothic Voices, the Goeyvaerts Trio, Carol Robinson, Juliet Fraser, Helen Bledsoe, Séverine Ballon, Matteo Cesari, Pascale Berthelot and musicians from Music Generation Louth. And the composers Tanaka, Pisaro, Saunders and Bryars will be present.
