This year, they continue their pop-up programme of free lunchtime festival recitals. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some highlights of the classical and operatic repertoire in a less formal way.

They present these recitals as an opportunity to enjoy a flavour of the festival with some beautiful music, to outdoor settings around the Blackwater Valley. To celebrate the 2023 festival, they have continued to offer free BVOF Open Air Lunchtime Recitals across both Cork and Waterford counties.

Attendance is free of charge however pre-booking is essential and required in advance (see BVOF website for bookings).

The BVOF Open Air Lunchtime Recitals are kindly supported by both Cork County Council and Waterford City and County Council.
