Finghin in online concert
IN recent months, we’ve seen the true spirit of creativity come to the fore, with wonderful choral creations and musical collabrations appearing online, and the imaginations behind the Drogheda Classical Music series have also been busy!
DCM has joined forces with West Wicklow Festival to present a two concert online mini-series, “Behind Closed Doors”, on Friday 26th June at 7:30pm and Sunday 28th June at 7:30pm from the stunning music room at Russborough House, Co Wicklow and the glorious setting of St Peter’s Church of Ireland, Drogheda respectively.
On Sunday 28th June, Drogheda Classical
Music will present a concert of Mozart and Beethoven Wind Quintets originally scheduled to take place on Thurs 12th March but cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic. This concert features pianist Finghin Collins with an ensemble of distinguished wind players, Matthew Manning oboe, Macdara Ó Seireadáin clarinet, Sinéad Frost bassoon and Cormac Ó hAodáin french horn. As the Drogheda concert is a rescheduled event it will be free to existing ticket holders and available to all others for €10.
Two days earlier, on Friday 26th June, the West Wicklow Festival will present a concert by acclaimed duo Gavan Ring tenor and Fiachra Garvey piano for an evening of popular opera arias and songs including favourites by Puccini, Mozart, Gounod, Schubert and more! Both concerts will remain available to watch for 72 hours after they go live.
Whilst these concerts will be sadly lacking a live audience, both will be broadcast with high definition audio and visual to ensure viewers have as close to a live experience as is possible from the comfort of their homes. Both groups are grateful to the Arts Council, Fáilte Ireland, Louth and Wicklow County Councils, Droichead Arts Centre as well as their private donors and loyal audiences.
