CLASSICAL music lovers
can look forward to a unique recital at Tullyarvan
Mill, Buncrana later this month.
The Prey Trio, in association with Inishowen-based
composer John McLachlan, will perform a concert for
wind instruments featuring music by Bach, Mozart,
Britten and Reich. |
The recital - part of
the Da Capo series - will include pieces specially
written by Quigley's Point-based McLachlan for the
Prey Trio. The work was designed for, among other
instruments, piccolo, flute, alto, bass flute and
oboe. It was commissioned with Arts Council
assistance in 2005 and composed by McLachlan at
Cross, Quigley’s Point, in 2006.
McLachlan is from Dublin and lives in Redcastle with
his wife Helen Haughey who is native to Inishowen. |

world. He is also the director of the Association of
Irish Composers, which is the all-Ireland union for
composers of contemporary classical music. |

Susan Doyle (flutes), Sile Daly (oboes) and Deirdre
O’Leary (clarinets). All three are leading players
on the contemporary classical music scene nationally
and internationally, and perform with the RTE
orchestras and in various chamber groups.
Da Capo is an Inishowen-based committee, supported
by the |
| Arts
Council and Donegal County Council, that promotes
classical music in the peninsula. The concert takes
place on Saturday, November 22, with tickets priced
