At 2 pm, Aoife will respond to Sean Scully’s paintings with the metric Bach Fugues (Sean Scully room).

1pm & 3pm Harpist Úna Monaghan will play using speakers to create a surround sound echoing the three dimensions of Rodin’s sculptures of George Bernard Shaw and Age of Bronze (Sculpture Hall)

SUNDAY Noon to 3pm

Noon & 2pm Ciamin Gilmore has a keen interest in modern music and, as a bass player, loves both the atmosphere and the buoyant acoustic of the Sean Scully room (Sean Scully room)

Sunday 1pm & 3pm Larissa O’Grady will be drawing inspiration from ‘Landline Gray’ with the use of sul ponticello, a technique where the bow is played near the bridge, creating a glassy or metallic tone complimenting Scully’s illumination of contemporary concerns in abstract expression
