Finghin Collins Wanderer Tour Nov 13th to Dec 5th featuring works by Irish Composers
A major seventeen-concert recital of Ireland, supported by the Arts Council.
WANDERER TOUR NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2021 - Nationwide
After months of inactivity, pianist Finghin Collins takes to the road again this winter, embarking on an extensive national recital tour which he has named after one of the major pieces in the programme - Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy. This is Schubert’s most demanding work for piano solo, which Schubert named after one of his own songs “Der Wanderer” - music from the song appears in each of the linked movements of the piece. The second half of the programme takes us on the day’s journey into night with a diverse range of pieces inspired by midday and evening, including Amy Beach’s magical conjuring of the song of the hermit thrush.
