After the Lectures

Today has been such a busy day that I’ve only got time for a quick post. This morning was spent preparing and delivering a revision lecture, and this afternoon preparing and delivering a Departmental Colloquium.  That done I headed straight for the railway station to get the train into Dublin and thence by foot to the National Concert Hall.

So here I am, sipping a glass of nicely chilled white wine as I wait for tonight’s performance. I’ll post a review tomorrow but, until then, Cheers!

As you can see, though, the programme was quite varied and no fewer than three other composers were represented. […]
