Bringing together contemporary works by Irish and French composers the concert will explore the theme of peace through texts ranging from Sanskrit, Scripture and some of the greatest poets and writers spanning the centuries. The performance will feature the world premiere performance of the winning entry of the Seán Ó Riada Composition Competition.
