King House is delighted to welcome back Latvian pianist, Didzis Kalnins, who performed during BAF19, to perform The Seasons by Tchaikovsky. The Seasons concert will take place on Sunday Nov 21st at 4pm. Tickets cost €10 with proceeds to Irish Cancer Society and can be purchased by calling 087 144 4739. This is a ticket only event.Latvian pianist Didzis Kalniņš is currently studying for a Doctorate in Music performance at the Royal Irish Academy of Music under the guidance of Professor Thérèse Fahy. In 2013 he completed undergraduate studies at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Music Academy and in 2016 he obtained Masters degree at the Conservatorio di Musica di Vicenza “Arrigo Pedrollo” in Italy.He has successfully participated in international music competitions and myriad of concerts both as a soloist, with a symphony orchestra and with other musicians for audiences including Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland and BrazilThe Seasons by Tchaikovsky, written between 1875-76, is a set of twelve characteristic pieces for piano solo and each one of them is a subtle portrait of something characteristic of the month. This is enhanced by little poetic epigraphs by the commissioner and first publisher of these works, Nikolai Bernard. According to L. Korabelnikova and P. Vajdman in the preface of Henle edition, it is unknown whether Tchaikovsky was consulted on these. However, as these epigraphs appeared in every edition during Tchaikovsky’s lifetime, it seems that the composer had learnt about them and approved.The Seasons was commenced shortly after the premiere of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano concerto and continued while he was completing his first ballet, Swan lake. Interestingly, different opus numbers appear for the set. While Bernard had assigned opus number 37, Jürgenson, the publisher of all other Tchaikovsky’s works, had given this opus number to Grande Sonata, thus op.37bis was assigned. For this reason, either op.37a and op.37bis can be found in editions by various publishers. Not so often performed all together, these pieces present various technical and musical challenges for a performer. The melodic invention, harmonic tangents and the orchestral articulation highlights one of the most alluring qualities of Tchaikovsky’s piano music.#piano #pianist #steinway #Tchaikovsky #fourseasons #kinghouse #concert #hiddenheartlands #wildatlanticway ...

The King House Piano Commission 2022.Next year's King House Piano Commission marks the second in a series of music commissions by Roscommon County Council, in celebration of the grand piano at King House. 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. The 2022 commission to the value of €8,000 is funded by the Arts Office of Roscommon County Council together with the Arts Council of Ireland, in collaboration with Boyle Arts Festival and in association with the Contemporary Music Centre. The commission invites composers to respond with a work for small ensemble (3 players). This new work for small ensemble must include piano and should be developed in collaboration with a pianist or as a work with the composer as the pianist. The commission should consider the sonic fusion of classical and jazz genres. The piece will be premiered by the ensemble at a concert during Boyle Arts Festival 2022 (14th – 23rd July).The first commission was awarded to Ryan Molloy and premiered online as part of Boyle Arts Festival in August 2021Watch the full performance here http://ow.ly/l72w50GFkw6. Deadline for receipt of applications is Monday 29th November at 12 noon. Full details of how to apply are at http://ow.ly/9km050GFkw7 ... See MoreSee Less

'No Choices' is a beautiful exhibition fearturing new visual and written art by Veronica O'Connor. It opened in King House on Thursday last and will be open again on Tuesday next from 2pm to 8pm and on Wednesday from 10am to 5pm. Veronica tells us that "Art serves to provide us with an awareness of the world around us, past and present." "The work in this exhibition is inspired by and honours the lifestyle of my mother Úna and other women of the early 1900s""Their choices were limited and their pathways blocked and their personal fulfillment was often hidden behind their aprons of hard work.""Úna was a creative person but never had the opportunities I have had to express these and for this I am grateful."Enjoy the Exhibition.Photos courtesy of King House. ...
