Robert is recipient of new commission from violinist Jane Hackett with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland / June 25, 2019 by Robert Coleman

Robert will be writing a new work for violinist Jane Hackett supported by the Arts Council of Ireland Commission Award.

Robert has previously collaborated with Jane in the past in 2016 when he wrote a three movement work for Jane Hackett and Siobhán Doyle titled Spectrum with visuals by Mihai Cucu.

The new work for violin and multimedia will complete the Spectrum set and is unusual in that it will be written to be performed specifically out of doors. It will be performed in the Netherlands and also in Ireland in Summer 2020.
