Back from Peru

Hi all,

Sorry for my prolonged silence. I'm now back from Peru but straight into residential training while still battling jetlag so incapable of posting properly. Got a 'networking dinner' (arrgh) in an hour and really need to chill out a bit!

For those of you in need though top tips for the moments are: (Just follow the links for details and promise to get back into it properly for my next post.)

Pianist Vasselin Stanev Thursday 6th March 8pm School of Music will be spectacular I'd say

or Somadrome at Triskel as part of the French Film Festival the same night for the more adventurous

and next week

Lunfardia (click on the music button from this link) are making their first tour together but are made up of some of the most exciting musicians in Ireland today (Ioana Petcu-Colan, Malachy Robinson, Ariel Hernandez and more) - they'll be in Triskel on Tuesday 11th, they're offering a special supper/concert deal (who's running the cafe now? I'm out of date!)

and the National Symphony Orchestra are playing Beethoven's Pastoral Symph next Thursday13th and hosting the lovely Alina Pogostkina who'll be playing a Bruch violin concerto with Wagner's Tannheuser overture thrown in for good measure.

So put me out of my misery and tell me how Steven Isserlis was! And did anyone get up to see Arvo Part in Louth or Dublin?

John Godfrey sent some news back by e-mail:
"Arvo was totally sold out in Dublin, and tickets could not be obtained for anything!! We tried to get in to see Passio in Christchurch, but no luck -- not even 20 returns on a 1,500-seat venue. The Crash gig was sold out 3 weeks in advance! It was notable, tho', that the people going were definitely not the usual 'new music' crowd"
