CeNMaS October New Music Feast 2022

CeNMaS New Music Days are a new feature of our calendar for 2022-23, combining performances, talks and events that showcase cutting edge guest composers and performers alongside staff and students from the Department of Music.

Programme available here.

Concert guitarist Ondrej Veselý presents a programme of new music written for the classical guitar. 

Join us for a pre-concert talk ahead of the performance from 5, where Ondrej will discuss Slovak guitar music.

Veselý  has performed as a soloist with Slovak State Philharmonic (Košice/SVK), Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (Bratislava/SVK), and Solamente Naturali. Veselý is also a dedicatee of dozens of new works for solo guitar. 

This concert programme offers a resume of the recent guitar music composed by Slovak composers for Veselý, complemented by new pieces of music written by composers from the United Kingdom, Finland, The USA, and Canada.
