Music for Galway and Galway Dance Project have joined forces to bring together two top Irish-based artists: percussionist Alex Petcu and dance artist Marion Cronin.
Join them at the Black Box in Galway on Tuesday, November 28 at 7:30pm.
This is the first time that these artists have worked together. They will first perform individually and then present a new work that has emerged from their extended collaboration, which was facilitated over the past few months.
As part of their work together, they are engaging with students of local secondary schools prior to the performance and also doing a workshop with the participants of the Galway Music Residency Apprentice Ensemble Programme.
An Irish musician of Romanian origin, Alex is quickly establishing himself both nationally and internationally as a percussionist of the finest calibre.
His debut album, “Alex Petcu: In Time”, released on the RTE lyric fm label, showcases both seminal works and new contributions to the percussion repertoire.
Aside from his performing activities, Alex is also an assistant lecturer in percussion at the MTU Cork School of Music.
Marion Cronin is a contemporary dance artist and new choreographer based in Dublin.
Since graduating in 2014 from The Scottish School Of Contemporary Dance she has toured extensively across Ireland and internationally.
Most recently she has worked with choreographers and companies including; Liz Roache (Dublin Dance Festival), Jean Butler (Dublin Theatre Festival), Lucia Kickham (Schwere Reiter, Munich) and Philip Connaughton (Carlow Arts Festival).
An inspiring night of discovery awaits!
