TRADITIONAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCE AT UCC

The Arts Council and University College Cork invite applications from traditional artists of distinction for the role of Traditional Artist in Residence at UCC for the calendar year 2025.

The Traditional Artist in Residence, based in the Department of Music, is designed to provide a traditional artist (traditional musician, singer, dancer, story-teller or practitioner of the oral arts such as agallamh beirte and lúibíní) with a unique opportunity to develop their practice in a university environment while offering students the opportunity to engage with a practising artist in a meaningful way during the course of their studies.

Department of Music doctoral researcher and Senior Technical Officer Phil Maguire will launch his new CD, faint red / pencil lines on Farpoint Recordings at Anima Mundi #5, a series by Errant Sound that is part of Cultúr Éireann's Zeitgeist Irland 24 festival in Berlin. Phil will perform at Morphine Raum on 12th October.

UCC & Cork Opera House MRes Scholar Kevin Terry presents the culmination of his research at this year's Culture Night, with a number of performances of his immersive audio environment at Cork Opera House.

Donnchadh has been awarded this prize for his final-year Major Study composition project, Éist le Fuaim na hAbhann. Echoing Sean-nós in Contemporary Classical Composition. The project is a work for three instrumentalists that interrogates the composer’s relationship with sean-nós song and its usage as musical material in contemporary classical composition.
