Performance by the Aleph Guitar Quartet & Daisy Press

Echoes, a festival held by the Louth Contemporary Music Society, is set to take place in Dundalk, Louth, in June 2025. This two-day celebration of contemporary music will feature a diverse lineup of performances, including the first-ever Irish performance of Bernhard Lang’s The Cold Trip by the Aleph Guitar Quartet and Daisy Press, made possible by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

On Saturday, June 14, the festival continues its programme with Daan Vandewalle’s performance of Lang’s Monadologie XXXVI Chopin 12 Etudes. Later, Aleph Guitar Quartet and Daisy Press will return to perform Martin Smolka’s contemplative Basho, along with a new composition. The acclaimed UK ensemble Apartment House will perform their arrangement of Nico/John Cale’s The Marble Index. To close the festival, Chamber Choir Ireland will take the stage, performing works by Kevin Volans and a new piece by Sarah Davachi.

Echoes presents a rare opportunity to experience new and established works by renowned composers, including Sarah Davachi, Martin Smolka, Kevin Volans, Bernhard Lang, and a reimagining of The Marble Index by Nico/John Cale.
