Katherine Hunka, leader of the Irish Chamber Orchestra is one of a trio of top Irish musicians that will kick-start this year’s programme for the North Cork Classical Music (NCCM) series which boasts some really exciting performers this year.
She teams ups with accordionist Dermot Dunne and Malachi Robinson on double bass (collectively know as the Far Flung Trio) for the opening concert in the Village Arts Centre, Kilworth on Thursday, June 16 at 8.15pm (more details of this on Curtain Call page).
Other great concerts to look forward to include the Hydra Quintet at St Colman’s Church, Farahy (Sunday July 24 at 6.30pm – note time).
The Hydra Quintet is made up of five young, energetic and hugely talented musicians and the ambience that the Farahy venue boasts is sure to make this concert truly special (more details from Jane on 022-26257).
