At the heart of the Irish Chamber Orchestra’s vision is the belief that music is for everyone and this nationwide tour brings the works of Beethoven to Kerry with Ireland’s leading classical musicians and international guests.
Beethoven’s epic Piano Concertos Nos 1 and 3, brim with loveliness and elegance tell a coming-of-age story.
Piano Concerto 1 reflects a young man eager to make his mark on the world while Piano Concerto 3 is the music of an emerging giant pounding towards ingenuity and deafness.
