Four great violinists, four international Quartets, tales of mistreated women from famed monarchs to mistreated artists, stories told by composers from Australia, USA and the Netherlands. The long-delayed performances of the complete Biber Mystery Sonatas, and an extensive selection from one of the most popular and prolific composers, JS Bach. Once again West Cork’s premier international festival brings you over 50 concerts in ten days and nights, Baroque Coffee Concerts, midday experiments, afternoon recitals, powerful evening concerts and finishing up with candle-lit late nights.
