Join Crash Ensemble as it performs the world premieres of five new commissions by Crash Works creators Aoife King, Aleksandr Nisse, Cathal O’Riordan, Lara Weaver and Tim Doyle. Crash Works is a commission and development hub for music creators at pivotal stages of their careers, offered in partnership with Crash Ensemble and New Music Dublin. These new works are the culmination of a two-year programme of support, mentoring and development, during which each creator has been given the opportunity to investigate and develop new works.

​

Commissioned by Crash Ensemble and New Music Dublin with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland. Crash Ensemble is also supported by Dublin City Council.
