Over the coming months, the composer whose output of work includes everything from operas to film scores and chamber pieces, will hold a round of workshops with Sligo children at five hubs (Coola, Grange, Tubbercurry, Easkey and Sligo) around the county .
As MGS’s Composer in Residence he will also create a piece of music to be performed by children participating in MGS’s Performance Programme.
