Tinney performs again on Friday, 26 October, this time at Irish Embassy and with the violinist Catherine Leonard — this is an invitation only event. The duo will play music by Irish composers Ian Wilson, Raymond Deane and Siobhán Cleary as well as Maurice Ravel.

Returning to the CCI on Saturday, 27 October, at 7.30pm, a specially formed group comprising Kate Ellis (cello), William Dowdall (flute), Paul Roe (clarinet), Nick Roth (saxophone), Joanne Quigley (violin), Cora Venus Lunny (viola) and Izumi Kimura (piano) will perform.
