 Music students are performing a week of lunchtime concerts here in DCU. During the week the full-time music students will showcase a different genre at lunchtime. The concerts will take place in the Helix for free. The Legends in their own lunchtime series will feature students from the BA in Jazz and Contemporary Performance. The four-year degree trains students to become professional performing musicians. The musicians are taking to the Helix foyer to perform Afro-Cuban, Jazz, Groove and more. We spoke to faculty members Cormac O'Brien and Connor Guilfoyle about the performance and the course itself. We're from the Jazz and Contemporary Music Programme and we were looking for a way to make our presence known, make an impact on the campus so that we have this kind of state-of-the-art venue here which is mostly used for commercial shows that aren't really anything to do with the college so we wanted to come up here and do something that's connected with DCU so we thought a week of performances showcasing what we've got and this is a nice kind of open space to the public. The teachers often have a speciality, mine in this case is Afro-Cuban because I've been running outside of DCU, I run Afro-Cuban bands so what I do is put together an Afro-Cuban project so what we're here today is a Latin Jazz Afro-Cuban project so other times there will be other specialities like Coltrane what else is there, a funk band? There's a vocal ensemble, there's a guitar ensemble so speciality is depending on the day. They're all aspiring to be full-time musicians in terms of encouragement it's hard to say some parents are very encouraging and some are the opposite because a career in the arts can be a tough career.
