Cello concert in Dunshane tonight

The fundraising concert is being performed by the international cello soloist, Georg Mertens, and the program includes works from Rachmaninov, Bach, Albeniz and Mertens himself. His 'Erh Hu Improvisations' are said to be sounds which are produced as if ‘from another world’.

The recital begins at 7.40pm. Georg is the father of Svantje Mertens, a teacher at Kildare Steiner School.

Tickets are €20 Adult and €15 Concession. €10 child tickets are also available. Contact Svantje Mertens on 085 1574267, or Harvest Fare, Blessington, 045 891636, or simply pay at the door. But space is limited and early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
