Are you curious to learn more about how music creators work? Crash Works returns in 2024 with a unique open session casting light on the genesis of the composition process. Join Crash Ensemble as they take a first look at the sketches of five emerging music creators, which this year consider humanity’s relationship with the environment—exploring ideas around sustainability and climate action.

Crash Works is a commission and development hub for music creators at pivotal stages of their careers. A collaboration between Crash Ensemble and New Music Dublin, it offers a range of mentoring and support, culminating in a commission for full ensemble by each creator to be premiered at New Music Dublin in 2025. Come along to this working session to make sure you hear it first!
