Welcome to QME’s first ’Sonic Book’, a multifaceted experience that not only gives you our videos to watch, but also provides a deeper understanding of what lies behind the ensemble and the composers’ works. Like any book, you can read it in order or dip in and out as you like. I hope you find it informative and enjoyable!

My thanks to Anna Murray for the design of the Book, to Kathy, Francis and Anna for their texts and imagery, to Solstice Arts Centre for their dedicated and continuing support, and of course to Seán, Dan, Ilse, Roddy, Laura and Alexis for their reliably wonderful performances.
