I enjoyed the Irish Chamber Orchestra's festive French themed programme in the magnificent Gothic stone St Fin Barre's Cathedral . You can read my review which appeared in Saturday's Irish Examiner here It was a great pleasure to hear soprano Ailish Tynan. I last heard her when she was a guest soloist in Chansons d'Auvergne for a concert with Maynooth University Orchestra of which I was a member around 2001 or so. She was just setting off to begin her studies in London. where she now lives and enjoys a very successful career. The Francaix pieces escaped mention. They wee described by Liz Nolan in her comprehensive programme notes as 'bright, bumptious and gleeful'. Just right.

. In fact the title applied to the Mendelssohn whose teenage works formed the mainstay of the programme. You can read that review here
