A nice little classical festival that almost slipped through the net here at the Workhorse is Music in Monkstown, which runs this weekend from the 9th to the 11th of Sept. I’ll let you guess where! Full details below.

Music in Monkstown is the brain-child of the RTE National Symphony Orchestra’s principal clarinetist and Monkstown resident John Finucane, supported by other enthusiastic local music lovers. After two incredibly successful years, MIM is back from 9 – 11 September 2016 for its third festival. Our aim has always been to offer to the people of Monkstown and surrounding areas chamber music of the highest international standard and this year is no exception. Five fantastic concerts, each with a different outlook on the world of music and each one brought to your doorstep!

Friday 9 Sept, 7.30pm John O’Conor, piano

Saturday 10 Sept, 3.30pm Mairead Buicke, soprano & Anthony Byrne, piano

Saturday 10 Sept, 7.30pm Navarra String Quartet with John Finucane, clarinet

Sunday 11 Sept, 3.30pm “A Journey across Renaissance Europe” “Instrumental and Vocal music from 16th/17th Centuries.”  Featuring Conor Hastings, baroque cornetto

Sunday 11 Sept 7.30pm Navarra Quartet, featuring Michael McHale, piano, and Malachy Robinson, double bass.
