Deirdre McKay’s Meltwater evokes the fragile beauty of ice slowly melting, an emotional reflection on water in a time of climate change. With subtle, shimmering textures, it captures both the wonder of nature and the quiet urgency of a warming world. In contrast, Handel’s Water Music offers a lively dance-driven celebration of nature’s beauty drawing on historical grandeur and dance rhythms, for performance on the Thames. It’s music that dances, dazzles, and delights. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
