SCS Killaloe Music Festival 2022
Murrough’s new piece for two violins, Imperium, was premiered at the 10th SCS Killaloe Music Festival on the 5th of June 2022.
Katherine Hunka, Artistic Director of the Festival and leader of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, had the good fortune to hear Murrough’s work being performed at the MTU Cork School of Music in 2021. She was very taken by his writing style and commissioned him to write a violin duo for this year’s festival. Imperium is highly expressive and Murrough uses the two violins to evoke opposing forces, conflict, and struggles for power. Diane Daly and Katherine produced a wonderful performance of this work at the beautiful St Flannan’s Cathedral. The live recording produced by Lyric FM will be released shortly.
Murrough’s interviews with Carl Roewer on the SCS Killaloe Music Festival Podcast from before and after the concert can be found on Spotify and on the festivals website.
