Watch Our Virtual Concerts As They Go Live

 

Please note our Virtual Festival is now over and the videos are no longer available to view.

 

This page brought our 2020 Virtual West Cork Chamber Music Festival directly to you, wherever you were. Each concert became available to view here at their appointed hours.

To find out more about individual concerts, visit our full 2020 Virtual Programme listing. Or you can visit an event page from here by simply clicking on its Read More link. You can also view and download our 2020 mini-Brochure with our listing of virtual concerts here.

 

Thank you for joining us virtually. And, although you will be enjoying these concerts from the comfort of your own home, rather than in the library of Bantry House or St Brendan’s Church, we hope that they will uplift and provide hope during this time.

Thank you to everyone who donated towards these events. All donations went directly to the musicians.
