The Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble will perform Peaceline Perspectives: Voices from a Divided City, on Saturday, February 28, at 3pm in Galway Community College.

It’s as part of Music for Galway’s current concert season, Breath.

Peaceline Perspectives features evocative pieces written by Irish composers during the last decade or thereabouts.

Their music is interwoven with voices and soundscapes inspired by Belfast’s Peaceline, which separates the city’s nationalist and loyalist communities.

The composers’ work has been largely shaped by their Northern Irish heritage – and all of them have close relationships with the Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble, which is based in the North’s capital city

Greg Caffrey’s Tout (a slang word used in the North for an informer) reflects on the horror, danger and mistrust prevalent during the Troubles.

Elaine Agnew’s I Want to tell you consists of instrumental duos accompanying a pre-recorded voice track of victims, survivors and displaced families affected by conflict, while Eduard Zatriqi’s War Games will bring the programme to an impassioned and dramatic conclusion.

Praised as ‘ground-breaking and dynamic’ the Hard Rain Soloists Ensemble was founded in 2013, made up of a group of world-class musicians.

The line-up for the Galway concert, which is in association with Music Generation Galway City, will consist of its Artistic Director Aisling Agnew on flute; Daniel Browell on piano; David McCann on violincello; Joanne Quigley McParland on violin and Sarah Watts on clarinet.
