The eight cellists that comprise Cello Ireland are at the heart of this very special concert. The first part of the evening showcases the wide diversity of their repertoire. Towards the end of the evening, cellists of all ages and abilities – children, students, amateurs, professionals – join Cello Ireland and our international students to create a mammoth cello orchestra.

With a mouth-watering programme and international stars such as soprano Claudia Boyle and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, this promises to be a feast for the senses.
