This concert celebrates the launch of our second album ‘Smock Alley’ which was kindly funded by the Continuo Foundation. It focusses in on the vibrant musical life of 18th century Dublin at the Smock Alley Theatre and it’s surrounding streets.
It will include a set of galant cello duos written by the Neapolitan composer Tomasso Giordani, who moved to Dublin in 1763 to become musical director at the Smock Alley Theatre, and arrangements of a number of Irish tunes from 18th century, using manuscript sources from musicians with links to the Smock Alley Theatre and it’s surrounding area. In order to explore the concept of the 18th century working musician as both player and composer even further, they have included a new arrangement by Carina Drury, which is based on the melody from the Irish air, Caoineadh Na Dtri Muire.
