Finghin Collins is the pianist to hear in 2010 (and see - he is very dramatic) His playing has been magnificent, wowed the critics and thrilled audiences both in Ireland and abroad. The week prior to the recital at Anaverna Finghin will be a soloist with the BBC Philharmonic at the Proms in the Albert Hall. And the week after he will be performing the Anaverna programme at the New Ross Piano Festival where he is the musical director. You can find out more and hear some recordings (including a sample from Schumann - Fantasiestücke op. 12) at www.finghincollins.com/

For tickets (e20) ring Kate 042 9380836 or email verelc@gmail.com. You can pay at the door but please book in advance. As it is likely to be a sell out I suggest that, if you intend to come, you book straight away.

Saturday 6 November 2010 - Tom Loves a Lord, a one man play written and performed by Martin Dyar

Concerned for how his patriotic credentials will be recorded, an ageing Thomas Moore attempts to restate his commitment to his mother country. This gripping and hilarious play includes world class performances of a selection from Moore’s Melodies by soprano Anna-Louise Costello, with piano accompaniment by Aileen Cahill.
