Music in Kilkenny’s Outreach and Education Programme presents a Family Friendly Concert in collaboration with the Spotlight Chamber Music Series. This programme features a string duet based on Romanian folk songs by the Hungarian composer Ligeti and an evocative and exciting quartet by contemporary Corkonian composer Finola Merivale, concluding with Mendelssohn’s sparklingly exuberant and rarely-performed string octet. Based on the principle of bringing together some of Ireland’s most dynamic and distinguished musicians to play with one another in small ensembles, the Spotlight Chamber Music Series was founded in 2017.
