The RTE Horizons Contemporary Music Series returns this year with a focus on the music of a contemporary Irish composer. Once again the series presents the work of emerging voices and established Irish figures.

Featuring in 2013 are Raymond Deane in a concert celebrating his 60th birthday, RTE lyric FM and RTE NSO Composer-in-Residence Linda Buckley, Ann Cleare and Jonathan Nangle.

Alongside these, will be works by major figures from the 20th century - Carl Ruggles and Iannis Xenakis - and younger generation Irish composers Irene Buckley and Donal Sarsfield.
