President to listen to Michael’s work

After their wonderful playing on ‘’ The Road to Lough Swilly’’ CD, Michael rejoins his old friends The RTE Contempo Quartet for a performance of his new piece ‘’Port na bPucai’’ in the presence of the President Michael D Higgins on Sunday 9th December in the Project Arts Centre, Dublin.

The event is “Miscellany 50” - a celebration of RTÉ‘s flagship programme Sunday Miscellany.

Miscellany50 is a celebratory radio festival weekend of short writing and music produced to salute fifty years on air in 2018 of Sunday Miscellany, RTÉ Radio 1’s iconic programme. Five concerts will each capture a decade between 1968 and 2018 and be introduced by writers including Mary O’Malley, Joseph O’Connor and Lisa McInerney.

Miscellany50 will also offer a feast of music and song to savour – some specially commissioned to premier over the weekend .
