About
Part of In Focus.
David Fennessy is a Glasgow-based Irish composer, performer, and teacher known for his inventive style, fusing traditional influences with experimental approaches. His early encounters with music began on guitar in his school rock band, where he developed a passion for crafting instrumental tracks before going on to study classical guitar at the age of 15. Drawn increasingly towards composition, he became an award-winning composer and his works have been performed nationally and internationally by leading ensembles.
This concert brings together a selection of David Fennessy’s captivating chamber works, taking its name from the opening piece composed for the poet and playwright Tom McGrath. The careful listener may even detect the hidden influence of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, a work that Fennessy closely associated with McGrath.
