Doctors On Call

An exclusive documentary produced by Ben Panter for RCB. The four part series of fifteen minute episodes takes an in depth and candid look at the work of rural Clare’s General Practitioners as they discuss topics pertinent today. Doctor’s Gerry Wheeler, Billy O’Connell and John Duncan tackle issues including mental health, technology, ShannonDoc, the challenges facing rural patients and the toll the profession has taken on their personal lives. They are joined by mental health nurse, Breda Latham and coastguard Rose Keane who offer their expert insight into topics discussed in the documentary.
The series was produced by Ben Panter who was honoured to create his first and hopefully not his last, Sound and Vision Documentary. Ben said ” I found the interviews eye-opening and finished the project with a greater respect of the sacrifices that all participants have made as they endeavour to keep the people of Clare fit and well.

IRISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA’S DEATH AND THE MAIDEN TOUR BAROQUE AND ROMANTIC MASTERWORKS

Kilkee Civic Trust Newsletter

A Very Special Date for your Diary!
Our annual Irish Chamber Orchestra concert will be on Thursday 17th May 2018, (at 8pm), at Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee, Co. Clare.
Katherine Hunka and the Irish Chamber Orchestra bring us their DEATH AND THE MAIDEN TOUR – BAROQUE AND ROMANTIC MASTERWORKS.

Box Office open: Wednesday, Thursday & Friday from 2pm to 5pm
Telephone: (065) 9060769
All Tickets Cost €25

Musical Programme Summary:

Revel with the ICO in the opulence of the baroque court. Vivaldi’s rhythmic vivacity and harmonic clarity inspired Bach. In Vivaldi’s Concerto for 4 Violins and Cello in D-major, ICO soloists interact to great effect with the themes moving seamlessly between the instruments. It is exhilarating, with a vitality that will delight audiences. Bach’s Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor or Double Violin Concerto, is one of his most famous and best-loved works performed by Katherine Hunka and Nicola Sweeney.

Schubert’s Death and the Maiden is one of his finest works and a cornerstone of the repertoire. It is an expressive, romantic and dramatic work written in death’s shadow.

ICO’s double bass player Malachy Robinson demonstrates his compositional skills with his cinematic new work Dream of the Green Men, inspired by Purcell’s The Fairy Queen
We look forward to seeing you there!
Every good wish,

Joseph McCloskey
