Michael McHale – From Vienna to Paris at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on Fri 6 March. A solo piano performance of music from two of Europe's greatest musical cities, featuring the composers, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, de Rothschild, Chopin and Debussy.
Vienna and Paris have for generations attracted and inspired some of the greatest composers to live, work and make their names. Michael McHale, one of Ireland’s leading pianists, takes us from the classical poise of Mozart, via the Vienna-born Schubert to the dark romanticism of Brahms, before going to the chic Parisian salon of Mathilde de Rothschild, patron to and pupil of Chopin, and the exotic 20th-century picture-postcards of Debussy’s ‘Estampes’.
