Upbeat: Dublin secrets
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HOWEVER feted at home, Irish composers seem to establish themselves on the Continent faster than in Britain - Gerald Barry is the notable recent example. The point was brought home last month when Opera Theatre Company came to London with a bill of short works that caught the imagination. Where do you find out more about their authors?
For those in the know the source has been the Contemporary Music Centre in Dublin. Now the centre has published a directory, Irish Composers, which makes the vital details immediately available for some 25 of them from both sides of the border, with established figures such as Brian Boydell and Frank Corcoran appearing alongside a majority who were born in the last 40 years. It's available for pounds 5 from the CMC (010 353 661 2105).
