Composer Marian Ingoldsby in spotlight at Black Gate concert

Celebrated Tipperary composer Marian Ingoldsby will be the focus of the next concert in the Music and Musings series run by the Galway Music Residency.  This will take place in the city’s Black Gate Cultural Centre next Thursday, November 14, when the ConTempo quartet will perform her work, Struck by a Raindrop, which was premiered in 1999 by the Chicago-based Jupiter String Quartet.

Marian’s piece will be complemented by additional works, with ConTempo performing excerpts from Britten’s String Quartet no. 3.

In between, there will be a discussion between Marian, the musicians and the audience, moderated by NUIG’s Internal Communications Officer John Caulfield – with questions from the audience being particularly welcome.

Marian Ingoldsby studied at UCC under the renowned composer Gerald Barry, graduating with an MA in Composition. In 1995, UCC presented her with the Fleischmann Prize, an annual award to music graduates from that university for their contribution to music in Ireland.
