THU 14 FEB - The Sonic Lab, 8pm The Benyounes Quartet PROGRAMME: Deirdre Gribbin & Dr Sarah Teichmann Hearing Your Genes Evolve Composer Deirdre Gribbin and geneticist Dr Sarah Teichmann's year-long collaboration at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge resulted in the creation of a string quartet, Hearing Your Genes Evolve. Through music, Gribbin used fragments of DNA patterns from the 1000 Genomes project. She created a number of musical dialogues between the four instruments in the quartet, which represented variations in how the genetic code transforms and modifies as the components change. This first concert in the Night Music Chamber Series is in partnership with the NI Science Festival. openin ha Crash Ensemble is Ireland's leading new music ensemble; a group of world-class musicians who play the most adventurous, ground-breaking music of today.
