2026 Masterclass Programme
The 2026 Masterclass Programme is now available online and booking will open shortly. The Masterclass Programme has been a key part of the Festival since the beginning, and many of Ireland’s top classical musicians participated as young musicians.
Programme Director, Christopher Marwood, has put together three talented young Irish quartets – Olympia and Meliora, both returning for the second year, and Tara Quartet from RIAM coming for the first time. Also new to the programme are Talland Quartet from England. Irish Baroque Orchestra are sending their own young ensemble to take masterclasses from Kate Hearne, Sergio Bucheli and Concerto 1700.
Alex Redington and Mairéad Hickey return as a tutors, and Calidore, NOVO and Attacca Quartets will all lead classes.
