The Clare County Council Arts Office is inviting expressions of interest from musicians with vision impairment to participate in an exciting research project funded by The Arts Council’s “Invitation to Collaboration” scheme.
The Local Authority was last month awarded €11,100 to devise the unique music project in partnership with the Irish Memory Orchestra, NCBI (National Council for the Blind Ireland) and 3L, an online music education resource which aims to empower and support visually impaired musicians.
The project aims to explore the potential for musicians who are visually impaired to perform newly composed music by composer Dave Flynn with the renowned Irish Memory Orchestra, using 3L online audio platforms and Braille sheet music as musical aids.
Selected musicians will be invited to attend a number of workshops and rehearsals in Ennis.
