Midwinter Festival SEASONS
Friday 20 January to Sunday 22 January 2023
Town Hall Theatre and Hardiman Hotel Ballroom
Our 20th Midwinter Festival takes its inspiration from its own name and explores not only winter but all four of the seasons.
Vivaldi’s hugely popular classic opens the weekend with the vibrant Irish Chamber Orchestra and soloist/director Katherine Hunka, who pair the work with its Argentinian counterpart.
More intimate recitals follow on Saturday and Sunday. Freddy Kempf juxtaposes Tchaikovsky’s Seasons with Chopin’s Grande Polonaise Brillant while our two song recitals take us on two very different journeys.
Schubert’s deeply moving and intensely beautiful Winterreise, sung by German baritone Jochen Kupfer with pianist Finghin Collins, is followed on Sunday by a journey of redemption, promise and joy with songs from spring, autumn and summer brought to life by Galway favourite, the radiant Dutch soprano Lenneke Ruiten.
