Ian Finlay

On 11th April 2021, the Kaleidoscope Season Launch premieres at 8.30pm online. Featuring The Dublin Viols , Ian Finlay (Sax & electronics), William Butt (cello) & Joachim Roewver (viola) and The Alexandra Potinga Quartet (Jazz standards). This upcoming season boasts 6 featured artists, 6 commissions and a new podcast! Celebrating all that is inquisitive, innovative and exquisite in music performance in Ireland, the Kaleidoscope Music series kicks off this season with a concert performance recorded live at Rathfarnham Castle. Performed in this wonderful Elizabethan Castle, the series presents Lute song performed by The Dublin Viols, music from Dowland, Purcell, Ferrabosco and more, an ideal setting for the genre. Ian Finlay will bring us Irish composer Jonathan Nangle’s work Artificial Blissful State (2016) for Baritone Saxophone and Electronics. This work is a commentary on the rise of AI (artificial intelligence) within our daily lives. Here an aggressive electronic track drives forward, unrelenting, unflinching, a steady pulse against which the saxophone plays their role, sometimes irregular and jarring, pushing against the tide of ‘progress’. This is paired with Dutch “ Avant Pop” composer Jacob TV’s Pimpin for baritone sax and beatbox. A fusion of classical and modern music set to critical commentary inspired by present-day topics. Romanian born and now Dublin based jazz vocalist Alexandra Potinga will perform a selection of jazz standards with her creme de la creme of hot Irish Jazz talent. William Butt (cello) and Joachim Roewer (viola) will bring us Beethoven’s duo nicknamed “The Eyeglass” in E-flat major. Composed circa 1796 it was written for a cellist friend of Beethoven to duo with, both of whom required glasses to read the music… we certainly did not hear enough Beethoven in 2020 due to our global circumstances so here Kaleidoscope presents two friends, who also happen to wear glasses! Kaleidoscope Night at the Castle Season Launch takes place on Sunday 11th April 2021 - Premiere at 8.30pm. Watch the event here on our website on our livestream page.

"I have long been fascinated by the North - the Nordic countries, expanse of land and ocean, from residencies on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, to the vast Icelandic countryside. The title norður comes from the Icelandic word for ‘north’. This programme represents many areas of interest from me, with field recording and themes of sea and winter, to music rooted in immersion and atmosphere. I certainly feel an affinity to the Irish composers featured - the sonic experimentation of Conal Ryan, the purity and harmony of Garrett Sholdice, also deeply inspired by a love of Medieval music. Includes 'Coastal Field Recordings', a work inspired by field recordings from the Dun Laoghaire to Killiney coastal region.

Finding Music Composer Linda Buckley grew up on her family’s farm just outside Kinsale, Co. Cork. It was there that her interest in the potential of sound first awakened, from the rhythmic chugging of a milking machine to the ever present rise and fall of the sea. In Finding Music, she explores what it is that compels composers to write music, and the journey they take from blank page to concert performance of a new work. A personal reflection on the creative act, she compares experiences with fellow composers John Buckley, Judith Ring and Jonathan Nangle.

Until 27 Jul

The Riverbank children’s gallery will present three of Jonathan’s interactive Song Sculptures: Trip the Light Fantastic, Environmental Paving and a brand new piece created as part of the New Music Dublin Festival ‘Creative Labs’ series this March. These ingenious machines use a range of high and low-tech approaches to create music as if by magic, whether it’s drawing energy from natural light or the movements of visitors in the space.
