The Council is always ready to support and encourage artists from Ireland eager
to build a reputation in America. One such emerging talent is Carmel Conway, a young
soprano from Limerick. The Council jointly hosted, with Dublin-based Karma Productions,
a reception and showcase event in May this year at The Harvard Club in New York
City.
At this performance, Carmel performed a mixture of carefully-chosen contemporary
and lighter classical material. The event included a pre-showcase reception followed
by a performance that lasted about 40 minutes.
Carmel Conway delivered a superior performance backed by a 10-player string and
wind ensemble.
