Triskel Arts Centre in association with First Fortnight present a special screening of the documentary film ‘Crazywise’. First Fortnight is a charity that challenges mental health prejudice through arts and cultural action.

Following on from the success of her Schubert piano sonata series, Cork-born musician Dr Fionnuala Moynihan returns to Triskel with a new series, this time the music of Muzio Clementi.

It is with great excitement that I begin the first of this four-concert series with two of Clementi’s op.10 piano sonatas.

Jeff Ballard makes music that feels like the 21st century – open, fluid and ever-developing – a sound informed by jazz but truly coming to life where musical worlds collide:

The fourth and final concert of the Spotlight Chamber Music Series will feature two romantic string sextets alongside Sam Perkin’s Duet for Two Violas.

The Asylum Archive is an art, activist and academic platform that examines the notion of Direct Provision Centres; the localities and sites where asylum seekers are being held while in the process of seeking refugee status.

“Every now and again I encounter a singer who gives me a glimmer of hope. Jim Page carries the light.” CHRISTY MOORE

It was my wish to include one of Clementi’s sonatinas in every recital. These works, though short, touch my heart every time

With undoubtedly one of the most dramatic of Clementi’s opening sonata movements, op.34 no.2 is full of passion, energy and unpredictability.

Collabro are the world’s most successful Musical Theatre group.

The incredible De Temps Antan have captured the hearts of audiences across the globe with their stunning interpretations of time-honoured melodies from Quebec’s musical past.

To complete this series with an evening recital is an honour and a privilege. Clementi is a composer whose music both intrigues and challenges me.
