Fresh from a performance at the 2019 BBC Proms, Leon McCawley returns to Ireland to play a programme of familiar works by Haydn, Schubert, Hans Gál, Schumann, Brahms and Chopin.

From BBC Young Musician to royal weddings, young cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason joins the Irish Chamber Orchestra for Saint Saëns Cello Concerto, Deirdre McKay‘s Meltwater and Bizet’s Symphony No. 1 conducted by Gabor Kali.

With a theme of Love & Death, the internationally acclaimed Navarra Quartet will perform works by Turrina, Kurtag, Puccini and Schubert’s famous string Quartet Death and the Maiden.

One of the most dynamic duos in Ireland at the present time, violinist Patrick Rafter and pianist Michael McHale present a programme of Mozart, Ravel, Debussy, Ysaÿe and Franck. This concert also features as a focal point for a new education project involving primary school students, funded by Creative Ireland.
