The opening concert features Mozart's Requiem in a new chamber ensemble arrangement and is conducted by Galway based Mark Keane. Adrian Mantu is more usually heard with the Con Tempo string quartet and there will be a rare opportunity to hear him perform solo repertoire. He will play the first of two cello concertos in the wonderful acoustic of St Columba's. On Thursday evening, Beethoven's lovely Pastoral Symphony will be heard.
On Friday night, a dramatic new opera for children by British composer Nicola Le Fanu will be heard in Glór.
On Saturday, the action moves to the lakeside venue of the Anna Carriga Pavillion in Killaloe for afternoon and evening events. The splendid Norwegian trumpet virtuoso Jan Fredrik Christiansen will feature at a concert in the afternoon concert. .
Also at St Columba's on Thursday, the lunchtime song recital initiated by Helen Houlihan continues with baritone Owen Gilhooly. Owen is much in demand all over Europe and is receiving rave reviews for his operatic work.
