Irish composers honoured by new music academy
There are several wonderful Irish composers and they don’t always get the recognition they deserve, either at home in Ireland or abroad.
The Irish Music Rights Organisation, known as IMRO, recently set up an academy to help put matters straight and help people get the recognition they deserve.
Now it has chosen its first two candidates to be inducted into the IMRO Academy. They are Bill Whelan and Brendan Graham.
Michael Flatley
Whelan wrote Riverdance music
Whelan is the composer of the music for the spectacularly successful Riverdance, the show made famous across the world by Michael Flatley.
