Your Music Education Package

Irish musicians Mary Dullea (‘Chamber Music on Valentia’ Artistic Director and pianist) and concert violinist, Darragh Morgan, are delighted to present an innovative performance programme for your family or school

This programme was originally designed for South Kerry schools with the support of Kerry County Council and Creative Ireland Kerry

They have produced a filmed concert presentation, featuring music by Irish composers and, with Kerry connections. Ernest Moeran (d. 1950) lived on Valentia Island for a time. Irish contemporary composer Deirdre McKay was the featured composer in this year’s Chamber Music on Valentia Festival. They celebrate the 350th anniversary of Turlough Carolan, the famous 17th-century blind Irish harper composer and also feature Matthew Dubourg, violinist/composer and orchestra leader of the premiere of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742. To round off the programme they include the ‘Largo’ from ‘Winter’ of Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons which musically describes those elements of nature, air and water, so visceral in the landscape of South Kerry.
