The Irish Piano tour - Michael McHale in Concert

All tickets £12 (includes complimentary interval refreshments)

Belfast-born pianist Michael McHale has established himself as one of the leading Irish pianists of his generation.

Since completing his studies at Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Music he has developed a busy international career as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician.

His début solo album ‘The Irish Piano’ was released in 2012 on the RTÉ lyric fm label, and has already been featured on national radio worldwide. The disc was selected as ‘CD of the Week’ by critic Norman Lebrecht, who described it as “scintillating…fascinating from start to stop”, whilst Gramophone praised “the singing sensibility of McHale's sensitive and polished pianism”.

This programme of varied and beautiful piano repertoire will include works from the Irish Piano CD including Traditional Irish Airs arranged for piano by Michael McHale along with works by Barber, Bax, Mozart and Chopin.

Michael has performed at many important musical centres including Lincoln Center, New York; Konzerthaus, Berlin; Tanglewood Festival, and for TV and radio broadcasts throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America.
