The Irish World Academy will be launching a brand new, innovative BA Music programme in 2026. The BA Music is a globally conceived contemporary performance-based music programme for students from any musical background. To celebrate this new programme, local rapper MuRLi has been collaborating with Aacademy students to create a contemporary hip hop piece that incorporates elements of Javanese gamelan! This piece will be premiered at the BA MUSIC LAUNCH PARTY on Thursday, December 4th in the Record Room in Limerick City. The launch event will also feature performances from other Irish World Academy pop, rock, early music, jazz, doom and electronic ensembles plus the infamous DJ Schismogenesis. The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 8:30pm.
