KaleidoFeature

New for our 12th season, Kaleidoscope brings you KaleidoFeature!

  • 6 Featured Artists

  • 6 Commissions from emerging Irish composers

  • 6 Podcasts

Six incredibly talented, versatile artists have been invited to curate a Kaleidoscope of their own. Each event will be a creative journey through music that hits the heart strings of each individual musician. 

To celebrate each artist and to connect to our audiences in a deeper way, for the first time Kaleidoscope will produce a podcast to accompany each feature. We will get behind the scenes with each musician, exploring aspects of their own lives and what music means to them.

Kaleidoscope has also commissioned 6 new works for each of these artists that will have their world premiere during our 12th season.  We will take the opportunity to chat to the composers about their new work in our new podcast.
