First Dance from 'Recueillement'

Garrett Sholdice (b. 1983) is an Irish composer based in Dublin. His music has been described as possessing an “exquisite delicacy” (The Irish Times). His work has been recorded by Ficino Ensemble, pianist Michael McHale, Maya Homburger & Barry Guy duo, Ergodos Musicians, vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, and Trio Scordatura, amongst others. Notable commissions include works for the Irish Chamber Orchestra, basset clarinetist Jonathan Sage and the Keats Quartet, Crash Ensemble, and cellist Kate Ellis and pianist Isabelle O’Connell. Sholdice is a co-director of Ergodos, a Dublin-based record label and audio production company co- founded with composer Benedict Schlepper-Connolly in 2006. He has lectured in composition, orchestration, and score analysis at several Irish third level institutions, and at summer courses in Ireland and abroad.
