Unusual arrangements from Bach to Mark O’Connor

This concert has to be a pure delight. Three 5-star Dutch musicians, violin, bass and bassoon have put together a wildly eccentric programme involving a series of unusual solos and duos and I suspect at least one trio. It is an opportunity to relish the skills of three outstanding musicians, a lot of fun is guaranteed.

Admission: €15

12.30 CRESPO MIDDAY SERIES This series is a recent to the Festival and is a chance to listen to some of the lesser known works of chamber and solo music. These concerts are less than an hour, and take place in the beautiful Marino Church, the former home for the Methodists. This is music for listeners who like to wander off the beaten track. These concerts are generously supported by the Crespo Foundation, and are named after the late Ulrike Crespo, a great friend and donor to the Festival.
