We're delighted to announce that Louth Contemporary Music Society has been awarded an Arts Council Commission Award for a major new work by the extraordinary American composer Sarah Hennies.

Sarah's music challenges, transforms and expands our understanding of sound, listening and performance, and we are honoured to support the creation of a new work that will receive its world premiere in Ireland.

We look forward to sharing more details in the months ahead.

We are deeply grateful to the Arts Council for its continued support of new music and the commissioning of new artistic voices.

There is only one complete collection of Harry Partch's extraordinary instruments in Europe.

On Saturday 20 June at 5pm, Charles Corey and Luke Fitzpatrick perform two of Partch's most celebrated works — U.S. Highball and Ten Lyrics of Li Po — at The Spirit Store, Dundalk.

Built for a 43-note scale, these handcrafted instruments create a sound world unlike anything else in music.

It's a chance to experience one of the 20th century's most original musical visions, live.

James Hetfield has next Friday and Sunday covered in Dublin.

Saturday? Apparently he's sitting in with Charles Corey for a bit of Harry Partch. 🤘😄

Relax... it's a joke.

But if you want to hear an instrument almost as rare as that scenario, join us at the Spirit Store on Saturday at 5pm.

Somewhere in London yesterday, Mary Dullea and Cornelia Sonnleithner are immersed in the extraordinary sound world of Beat Furrer's Canti della Tenebra.
On Friday, they'll bring that music to Dundalk.
It's going to be a very special evening.
