The next New Sound Worlds concert with Isabelle O Connell takes place on 1 June.

In a rescheduled concert from April, New York based pianist Isabelle O’Connell plays a fascinating programme built around George Crumb’s masterful Makrokosmos.

Originally from Dublin, Isabelle O’Connell is one of Ireland’s most successful pianists with a growing international career that has taken her across four continents. As soloist and chamber musician she has performed around the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy and Ireland. Receiving a standing ovation at her New York Debut recital at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall in January 2002 and only the second Irish pianist ever to perform there, the New York Concert Review wrote: “She has the technical prowess… and a spirit and intelligence to bring it all together.”
