Finghin Collins: Piano Recital

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of his win at the Clara Haskil Competition in Switzerland, pianist Finghin Collins is undertaking an extensive tour of Ireland this Autumn, performing at seventeen venues north and south. Between major works by Mozart and Schubert, the programme will feature selected extracts from the Ros Tapestry Suite, which was commissioned and premiered at the New Ross Piano Festival of which Finghin is a founding Artistic Director.

Throughout this tour, Linda O’Shea Farren of the Contemporary Music Centre has conducted discussions with featured composers as part of her “Composer’s Voice” series of interviews and for Thursday’s concert, Cork’s Sam Perkins will be Linda’s guest for what will surely be a fascinating and insightful dialogue.

Programme:

Mozart: Sonata in A major Alla Turca
Linda Buckley: Ros Tapestry Suite No.7 “William Marshal: The Flower of Chivalry”
Sam Perkin: Ros Tapestry Suite No.8 “The Marriage of William Marshal and Isabel de Clare (Nesting Doll)”
Schubert: Sonata in A major, D 959
