MusicTown has announced the full programme for its 5-day run in The National Concert Hall, including Bren Berry, Anna Mieke, RÓIS, Operating Theatre and more. The event will kick off on June 14 and wrap up on June 18.

Described as “a shapeshifting programme of live events created to reflect this ever-changing world of live music in Dublin City,” MusicTown will this year welcome RÓIS, collaborating with Crash Ensemble; Glasshouse tackling the works of Scott Walker; and Crash Ensemble once again, this time joining forces with Bren Berry. Crash Ensemble will also collaborate with acclaimed vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Mieke.

Also on the bill is a special performance from Operating Theatre, the music/theatre group formed in the 1980s by godfather of Irish electronic music and composer Roger Doyle, alongside actor Olwen Fouéré.

“Collaboration stimulates creativity and generates new work. Even the most solitary musicians can benefit from sharing ideas, stepping into someone else’s perspective,” comments Leagues O’Toole of Foggy Notions. “Writing, producing and performing music in the modern world isn’t always easy. A lack of venues, facilities, and platforms from which to be heard amongst the ever-accumulating mountain of work hosted online can be disheartening, and counter-creative.

“Artists will often find their greatest allies are other artists, people they can relate to, work with and, in some cases, build a community with. This year’s programme feels particularly exciting to me; It can be fascinating to catch artists outside of their release cycle.”
