Masterclass Programme 2018

Memories from our 2018 Masterclass programme

There were twenty students taking part in the 2018 Festival masterclasses, four young quartets from Cork, Dublin and London and a Baroque ensemble from the Academy in Dublin. Thanks to the generosity of the Festival musicians there were a wide range of masterclass tutors from quartets past and present as well as from our resident Baroque ensemble from Denmark.
