there will be no silence

a new work from composer David Downes and poet Adam Wyeth, there will be no silence is a meeting point between music and poetry - a call and response between instrument and voice where the language of music and the strain of words converge.

The performers include one of the greatest contemporary pianists of today, Rolf Hind, as well as the renowned cellist and founder of ConTempo Quartet, Adrian Mantu. The work also features legends of stage and screen Owen Roe and Aisling O’Sullivan.
