The Hugh Lane Gallery present six special versions of their Sundays@Noon concert series between 17 June and 26 August 2021 in the courtyard as part of IMMA Outdoors.

The six concerts take place bi-weekly on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm and a small amount of tickets will be made available for each live performance. These shows will be filmed for future broadcast as part of the Hugh Lane Gallery’s Sundays@Noon series.

These concerts draw from a wide variety of genres across the island: from Kerry-based accordion player Cormac Begley, the Cork-based Hifilutin flute quartet to Dublin jazz trios, Origin Story and the Berrill/Neilson/O’Connor Trio. As these musicians come together in the unique surroundings of IMMA’s courtyard, we celebrate playing for a live audience after a year of being unable to rehearse or play directly to the public. The Hugh Lane Gallery are delighted to be working in collaboration with IMMA to bring you these concerts and thank you for joining us both in person and online.

With thanks for the support of the Arts Council, Hugh Lane Gallery staff, Sonic Studios and Mary Barnecutt, Sundays@Noon concert programmer.


Programme Details

Below is an outline of the Sundays@Noon concert series, which runs from 17 June to 26 August 2021.

Within – Without
17 June, 6.30pm

Contemporary specialist soprano Elizabeth Hilliard and leading clarinettist Paul Roe join forces to produce a concert experience that will resonate around the walls and arches of the IMMA courtyard. Revisiting work we’ve performed before with fresh eyes and new perspectives – our concert includes James Wilson’s Windhover (recorded by Paul with the late Jane Manning), Ailís Ní Ríain’s End with Words of Hope (we performed this in our first concert together as part of Béal 2010), Jane O’Leary’s Due Voci (specially arranged for this performance), Matthew Whiteside’s … everyone is a child of the inbetween …, David Lumsdaine’s Fire in Leaf and Grass, and a brand-new work Within Without by Gráinne Mulvey.


Origin Story
1 July, 6.30pm

With over 25 years of history as collaborators and friends, Origin Story members have been involved in many of the most artistically successful projects in creative Irish music in recent years. Origin Story’s music is informed by all of these shared experiences and results in provocative and interactive writing and playing, equally influenced by the origins of the jazz tradition and contemporary innovations.
