Ildaite - Competition Winner
Murrough was one of three composers to win this year’s WCCMF Composition Competition with his string quartet Ildaite. The award provides composers with a generous bursary and the opportunity to workshop and record their piece with a featured quartet at this year’s festival (23rd June – 2nd July). Murrough will be working with the London-based Calathea Quartet in a series of workshops, culminating in 2 public performances on the 25th and 29th of June in Bantry, Co. Cork.
Ildaite was originally composed for a university workshop with Quatuor Danel in March 2022 and the recording from this session can be found below. Murrough made minor revisions to the score and is thrilled that the work will be getting its first public performances in the coming months.
