The Wicklow Piano Concerto

This blog has been set up to document a composition project by Cheryl Frances-Hoad. The idea, to write a piano concerto for pianist Bobby Chen and the Greystones Orchestra, based on the ideas and contributions of people of Co. Wicklow, Ireland, won the Music Commission from Wicklow County Council's Per Cent for Arts Scheme.

The Workshops

So, on Monday the 3rd December, Bobby and I will go to Co. Wicklow to do a series of workshops in five local schools. Our schedule is filling up all the time - on Monday we are going to an exhibition in the Wicklow County Buildings, then onto the Bray Arts Evening (where we will talk about the project), then, after that we will go to the Greystones Orchestra rehearsal. During the course of the week we will visit the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray (where the premiere performance will take place), meet with local musicians and writers, go to a historical society meeting in Greystones, and hopefully have time for some sightseeing (and the odd pint...)

It's all very exciting...do come back in a week or so's time, as there will be lots of photos up here of our week...
