During the 19th century Clonmel was a regular stop on tours by visiting continental musicians. The great pianist Franz Lizst performed here as did the guitar virtuoso Giulio Regondi. In the 20th century, the great Irish tenor, Frank Patterson, was born in Clonmel – as was the groundbreaking composer Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin.

‍
Regondi is known to have performed arrangements of Moore’s Melodies; Lizst championed the works of John Field; Patterson will be forever associated with the works of Thomas Moore and Ó Súilleabháin’s contribution to Irish music needs no elucidation.

Rare Clonmel concert series is curated by Eamon Sweeney.
