Concert of Organ
and Choral Music
These concerts will feature the organ (the
stunning new instrument by Ken Jones in
St Peter’s Cathedral, Belfast and the Wells-
Kennedy organ in Christ Church, Derry) and
the University’s highly-acclaimed choirs. The
Missa brevis by Laurence Roman, recently
appointed to a Lectureship in Composition
in the School of Creative Arts, will receive its
first performance in the Belfast concert. The
work is based on several Gregorian chants
and its performance will involve the chamber
choir and, intriguingly, three pianists at one
piano. Desmond Hunter, who has achieved
international distinction as an organist, will
perform Franck’s celebrated Chorale in A minor
alongside works by Couperin and Messiaen.
Aoife Miskelly, who is well-known for her work
with the National Chamber Choir, will be the
soloist in Poulenc’s stirring Gloria, conducted/
directed by Shaun Ryan

Centre for Media Research
The recipe for creating a
world-beating indigenous
digital media industry
Colm Murphy, Lecturer in the School of
Media, Film and Journalism, will outline the
measures used in the Republic of Ireland to
create a world-leading digital media industry.
The republic has become one of the world's
leading exporters of digital media and services
over the past 10 years with companies like
Google, Yahoo and e-Bay basing some of their
operations there.
Murphy writes regularly for The Sunday
Times, London and Penguin books, mainly on
business and economics.
This new PhD research, facilitated through
unique access to Irish policymakers and
companies, has been used in World Bank
seminars and other international forums.
