Harrison writes: "it is a real privilege to be joining such a fantastic group. Composition students will be writing works for the Performers in Residence, soprano Sylvia O'Brien and the Clarion Horn Trio and I am really looking forward to the workshops, lectures and tutorials that are designed to support the composers prior to the premieres of their new pieces."

The Irish Composition Summer School started as the Ennis Composition Summer School, founded in 1983 by John Buckley, and has been responsible for over thirty years of composition teaching by Irish and international composers. Previous directors have included Martin O'Leary, James Wilson, John Buckley, Grainne Mulvey and Michael Alcorn. International composers that have attended include Bent Sorensen, Christopher Fox, Liza Lim, Kevin Volans, Simon Bainbridge, Michael Finnissy and Jo Kondo.
