César Franck Sonata in A major
Emma O’Halloran To turn in Circles New Music Network Commission
Eugène Ysaÿe Poème élégiaque in D minor, Op. 12
Gabriel Fauré Après un rêve, Op. 7, No. 1

Individually, Patrick and Fiachra are stellar musicians who are making a significant mark on the international stage. Together, their performance on this digital tour promises to more than clear the very high bar that these young musicians have set for themselves.

“Belonging amongst the greatest violinists…this is passionate, abandoned playing, full of excitement, risks and drama…a dangerously virtuosic ability which seems to feed off itself.”
– Alexander Bailie, RDS Music Festival on Rafter

“[Garvey] brings a deep and infectious enthusiasm, combined with insight and technical comfort.”
– The Sunday Times

This event has been filmed by Music Network and presented as an online streamed event.
