Prepare for an evening of dazzling musicianship as Cassiopeia Winds, Ireland’s leading wind quintet, take to the stage on Thursday 15th May. Renowned for their virtuosity and infectious joy in performing, this quintet brings a vibrant and eclectic programme to the festival.
Cassiopeia Winds, featuring principal players from the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and RTÉ Concert Orchestras, have captivated audiences with their sensitivity and humor-infused performances. Their programme promises a rich journey through time and style, from Briccialdi’s delightful ode to The Barber of Seville and the evocative French and Spanish hues of Milhaud and Márquez to the playful and jazzy inflections of Irish composers Ronan Guilfoyle, Joan Trimble, and Adele O’Dwyer. Don’t miss this chance to experience one of Ireland’s finest chamber ensembles in an evening of musical delight.
