The Steinway Grand Piano was purchased by Roscommon County Council in 1998 through the Arts Council Joint Purchase Scheme.The commission will also celebrate the history and heritage of the county through uplifting, exceptional music, reflecting the lives of Roscommon people in 2023. The first commission was awarded to Ryan Molloy and premiered online as part of Boyle Arts Festival in August 2021 – this is a link to the film https://youtu.be/mPj-oK2xkiM. The 2022 commission was awarded to Ronan Guilfoyle and was premiered live in concert as part of the Boyle Arts Festivalhttps://youtu.be/TxvxfOEat50.This year’s commission invites composers to respond with a work for solo piano which is inspired by and responds to a text of the composer's choosing that has a connection to King House and/or Boyle and the environs. https://www.visitkinghouse.ie/ There will be three separate solo piano works chosen as part of the commissioning process, to be premiered together in concert alongside readings of the texts whichhave inspired the new piano works. Each solo piano work will be a maximum of six minutes in length.The text chosen by the composer as inspiration for the instrumental work can be in Irish or English and from any genre of literature. The text should be included as part of the application.The solo piano works will be performed by Roscommon pianist Peter Regan at the premiere, during Boyle Arts Festival on Friday 28th July 2023. Commissioned composers will be required to attend the premiere of the performance.Peter Regan has played in venues internationally including New York’s Carnegie Hall, Dublin’s National Concert Hall and the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
