NIGHT MUSIC
ÚNA MONAGHAN
Saturday, July 18th, 10pm
The Ship Pub, 265 Duckworth St.
$10 at the door | 19+
Úna Monaghan is a harper, composer, researcher and sound artist working internationally. She collaborates, improvises and performs with poets, visual artists, computers, writers, musicians, and others. Úna also works as a live sound engineer specialising in Irish traditional music, and experimental, electronic and multichannel music. She has released two albums of her compositions, most recently Aonaracht, for solo traditional musicians and electronics. Her recent commissions include pieces for Red Note, Crash Ensemble, Ulster Orchestra and Hard Rain Soloist Ensemble. Úna performs solo with harp and electronics, and as a member of contemporary music ensembles Stone Drawn Circles and Of Aran. Úna received the inaugural Liam O’Flynn Award from the Arts Council of Ireland and the National Concert Hall Dublin, and held the Rosamund Harding Research Fellowship in Music at Newnham College, University of Cambridge from 2016-2019. She is a lecturer in Sound and Music at Queen’s University Belfast, where her research examines the intersections between Irish traditional music, experimental music practices, improvisation and interactive technologies.
WHAT IS NIGHT MUSIC?
After the concerts are finished and the installations are closed, a whole new happening begins: Night Music at the Ship Pub. At the Ship, a host performer, band or collective will take to the stage and warm up the audience with a set of original music. Then, after a short break, the floor opens up: Symposium guests and others are invited to join the jam – and the fun begins. We self organize into smaller groups, or just all jump in! We first did Night Music as a project at Symposium 2002. And it has now been running as a monthly improv event in St. John’s at the Ship for over 20 years. The Ship Pub is a legend in its own right: it’s the birthplace of countless collaborations, the inspiration for others, and the favoured watering hole of many Newfoundland artists. Where better to jam late into the night? Night Music is directed by Craig Squires. Bring your instrument and talk to Craig about participating. Everyone is welcome!
