Diatribe is pleased to announce the launch of Solo Series I at 5.00pm – 6.30pm, Friday 16 April 2010 in the Contemporary Music Centre, Fishamble Street, with performances from 7.30pm – 9.30pm in the Kevin Barry Room of the National Concert Hall.
Solo Series I is a 4-CD set with individual records by pianists Isabelle O’Connell and Izumi Kimura; clarinetist Paul Roe and guitarist and bass player Simon Jermyn. Altogether 25 contemporary composers including 16 Irish composers are featured. The series is partly funded by the Music Network/Arts Council Music Recording Scheme 2009 and Diatribe Recordings.
Diatribe Records curates the Solo Series in order to give a voice to contemporary artists working in the highly demanding and challenging medium of solo performance. The aim of the series is to showcase the work of leading artists from a broad spectrum of musical genres in Ireland.
The Solo Series I launch at the Contemporary Music Centre will include a video installation by Simon Jermyn. This will then be followed by three half hour concerts featuring Isabelle O’ Connell, Paul Roe and Izumi Kimura in the Kevin Barry Room of the National Concert Hall.
Solo Series I will be available to purchase online, at the launch event and through Diatribe’s distribution network in many European countries and through New York based North State Distribution in the USA.
