Great minds think alike. Hard Rain commissioned a new work from Irish composer Frank Corcoran for their new 2021/22 season, only to discover that New Music Dublin had done the same. It felt appropriate, therefore, that HardRain’s performance at NMD this year should celebrate these two new works and include Corcoran’s Nine Looks at Pierrot, a work that features on the ensemble’s recent album release.
