Laois. Composer Martin Tourish is working in a highly collaborative way with young musicians from the orchestra &#8211; they are creating new music together, inspired by the events of Fitzmaurice\u2019s life, from his first foray in to flying as he witnessed an aeroplane under construction in Aldritt\u2019s garage in Portlaoise, to his own aviation feats after becoming a pilot in the British Army in World War I. Fitzmaurice\u2019s achievements took place during the significant upheaval of World Wars, and Civil War, in the first part of the 20th century in Ireland, and Europe. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Denis Byrne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10712,"template":"","class_list":["post-10711","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Work Series 3: The Impossible Dream - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Music Generation Laois have commissioned Composer Martin Tourish to create a 20 minute suite of music inspired by the life of Colonel James Fitzmaurice for the Music Generation Laois Trad Orchestra.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/new-work-series-3-the-impossible-dream\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Work Series 3: The Impossible Dream - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Music Generation Laois have commissioned Composer Martin Tourish to create a 20 minute suite of music inspired by the life of Colonel James Fitzmaurice for the Music Generation Laois Trad Orchestra.
