Recital

From the National Concert Hall programme notes:

"We welcome Sir Simon Keenlyside to the National Concert Hall for his first song recital in Ireland. This programme, put together by himself and Dearbhla Collins, focuses on composers who were from Vienna or made Vienna their home but like every interesting programme, it takes a twist and turn from that road at times to explore some unexpected hidden pathways."

"Still on a high after collaborating with this inspiring musician Sir Simon Keenlyside @NCHMusic over the past few days...wonderful song recital from Schubert to Poulenc and then a riveting masterclass with 4 young students. We'll have to persuade him to come back!!!"
