Music for Galway and Galway 2020 present
CELLISSIMO – a cello festival reawakens
March 21st to 28th 2021
The touch of wool, the subtleties of crumbling cheese, the scent of hay: can this be music? Music for Galway raises the sensual bar with top international performers for its re-imagined cello festival CELLISSIMO – Music for the Senses, March 21st to 28th 2021.
True to its original vision, CELLISSIMO celebrates the cello, one of the world’s most beloved and versatile instruments; Music for Galway has re-imagined the festival in order to deliver breathtaking music and the sensations of the West of Ireland to people’s homes.
The programme of the eight-day festival maintains the stellar line-up of top international cellists such as Mischa Maisky, Nicolas Altstaedt, Natalie Haas, Marc Coppey and Tatjana Vassiljeva and features many of its original strands: The core artistic programme, featuring orchestral concerts (RTE Concert Orchestra and Irish Chamber Orchestra), chamber music, Beethoven Sonatas and Bach solo performances throughout the county will be complemented by a masterclass programme, a traditional music strand, the presentation of the newly-commissioned Galway cello and much more.
