Three brilliant performers combine for what promises to be an unforgettable festival opener.

Violinist Hyeyoon Park is celebrated for her “Technical brilliance… charmed by a unique natural sweetness in tone” (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The Huffington Post has described horn player Ben Goldscheider as a “musical Bear Grylls, fearlessly leaping through dangerous terrain.” Wicklow pianist Fiachra Garvey is one of Ireland’s leading concert pianists, much-loved by our festival audiences for his exuberant and virtuosic performances.

The trio’s programme includes Romantic duos for violin and piano by both Clara and Robert Schumann, a Sonata for horn and piano composed in 1955 by the American composer Edith Boroff, and an inventive Horn Trio by the acclaimed British composer Huw Watkins. The second part of the programme is dedicated to Brahms’ incomparably beautiful Horn Trio in E flat.
