Chamber Music on Valentia
Valentia Island is the ideal setting for a Chamber Music Festival, being small and intimate yet spectacularly beautiful and blessed with an array of unique venues. Now celebrating its 6th season Chamber Music on Valentia, extends to 4-days and draws together musicians from across the globe, programmed by Artistic Director, pianist Mary Dullea.
The final day again sees traditional music in the limelight with harpist Úna Monaghan and the grand finale will be 'Music for 32 Strings' including Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin’s arrangement of Óiche Nollaig, Irish airs and the scintillating tour-de-force that is Mendelssohn’s String Octet, featuring a myriad of international chamber musicians including Darragh Morgan (violin), Keith Pascoe (violin), Rosalind Ventris (viola) and Tim Gill (cello), plus a collection of resident emerging artists from the UK and Ireland, Alexander Casson (violin), Emma Curtis (violin), Martha Campbell (viola) and Yseult Cooper Stockdale (cello).
