Irish Cello Retreat with Ilse de Ziah and guest fiddle player Matt Cranitch
Are you ready to spend quality time with your cello in a peaceful Irish setting and take your cello playing to the next level with new tunes and skills, in a fun and supportive environment?

The Irish Cello Retreat, held in the peaceful East Cork setting of Garryvoe is for you, the cellist, to learn how to play Irish music to help build on your technique and expand your repertoire. Irish music is a fantastic way to learn a lot about cello playing while having fun. The Irish Cello Retreat will give you a chance to learn new fast tunes, gorgeous deep and emotional Slow Airs and ancient melodies. The retreat ends with a short performance and traditional Irish session.

The music packed days will be hosted in the four star Garryvoe Hotel, in a light room with great acoustics and a view of the sea. It’s the perfect environment to soak up the lessons, share ideas and get inspired. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in the beautiful Garryvoe Hotel restaurant, dine on local produce in the nearby town of Midleton, and join traditional sessions in Midleton and Cork City.
