Evlana Ensemble
Evlana prioritises music of our time but also engages with repertoire of previous centuries. Commissioning new works is integral to the objectives of Evlana as well as providing opportunities for repeat performances. The ensemble's inaugural concert took place at the University Church Dublin in 2015 with support from the Arts Council.
This concert was later broadcast on RTÉ lyric fm. It featured several Irish premieres including Changing Light (Kaija Saariaho), Zipangu (Claude Vivier) and Taromirs Tid (Karin Rehnqvist) and the world premiere of Siobhán Cleary’s Her Kind for soprano, piccolo and string orchestra.
