Description
"The content of the programme and the stature of the pianists would fill the leading concert halls of the world..." Jeremy Hill.
Six superb pianists play throughout an enthralling musical weekend. Three of them share the platform at three main concerts, there are two daytime solo recitals by other pianists, and a late-night concert. A chamber group adds an extra dimension each evening.
Past performers include Cristina Ortiz, Freddy Kempf, Sunwook Kim, John O'Conor, Finghin Collins, Antti Siirala, Emma Johnston and Marc Coppey. These concerts all take place in historic St Mary's Church, the subject of one of the panels in the amazing Ros Tapestry exhibition.
Other happenings are a young pianists concert, a masterclass free to the public, jazz downtown, also free, and a "Meet the Pianist" session for second level students. Small town intimacy meets international brilliance.
