About this event

With Christmas fast approaching, three delightful reveries of make-believe, wishful thinking and magic led by the ‘authoritative and masterful’ (Bachtrack) Patrik Ringborg.

Sofia Gubaidulina’s Fairytale Poem gives life to a piece of chalk whose dreams are finally realised in colourfully eventful music lit up by affecting melodies.

Blending technical brilliance with intoxicating warmth and energy, Michelle Cann is the soloist in Florence Price’s virtuosic and colourful Piano Concerto in One Movement which collides Lisztian dazzle, late-Romantic fervour and African-American feeling .

Pre-concert talk in Kevin Barry Room at 6.15pm - join soloist Michelle Cann, ahead of her Piano Concerto with NSOI, in conversation with Máire Carroll, award-winning Irish pianist and composer.

Tickets €15, €26.50, €33, €39, €45
