Was lovely to finally meet Amy in person at our programme launch before The Talland Quartet concert in April and have a chat with her about how this year’s festival is shaping up. Tickets are available today via our website 🤩🎻

Orla McGarrity has spearheaded the Mourne Chamber Music Festival, which runs for four days in August

Wish I was home to see these wonderful students perform! Please go and support the next generation of talented and hardworking string musicians in County Down 🤩🤩🤩

Join us for a night of music exploring the realms of past and present. All of this music draws on a time outside of when it was written, inspired by future hopes or breathing new life into old ideas.

A core part of our festival programme will always involve getting out of our main venue and into the community.

This year our musicians visited two local care homes and Daisy Lodge , to deliver short performances during their rehearsal days. It was so nice to meet lots of new people and get to share some much loved music from a range if genres!
