Music in Monkstown
Music in Monkstown returns to the picturesque village of Monkstown, Co. Dublin for its third annual three-day festival of classical music this September 9 – 11th.
The lineup for this year’s festival is comprised of international performers along with some of the top Irish musicians, including piano sensation John O’Conor, Soprano Mairead Buicke, London based Navarra String Quartet playing with John Finucane, pianists Michael McHale and Anthony Byrne, Double Bassist Malachy Robinson and brand new ensemble Kitchen Zinc. Similar to last year’s festival, there are post concert jazz events in addition to a concert of “Classical Kids”.
