The Contemporary Music Centre's new music Salon series returns in September with a performance from cellist Kate Ellis.

Kate Ellis is a freelance cellist based in Dublin who works extensively within all genres of contemporary, classical and improvised music. A graduate of the Royal College of Music, London and the Royal Irish Academy of Music, she is a member of the Crash Ensemble and tours with the Karan Casey Band.
