Clonmel Junction Arts Festival

Composer and performer Eamon O’Malley presents a performance of original music, headlined by the premiere of 24:09 – a new work for piano and electronics inspired by Sean Kelly’s legendary 1985 time trial from Carrick-on-Suir to Clonmel in the Nissan Classic.

This real-time musical meditation explores the intensity of the athletic feat, the surrounding landscape, and the atmosphere of the event itself.

The performance will be accompanied by a specially commissioned video work by visual artist John O’Dwyer. O’Malley’s work is deeply rooted in local place and experience, yet resonates with a sense of universal connection.

The performance will be given on Saturday July 5 at the South Tipperary Arts Chapel at 7pm.
