Waterford Music welcomes clarinettist John Finucane to Waterford for our second autumn concert, accompanied on piano by David Adams. John Finucane will perform a French-flavoured programme, with music from Francis Poulenc, Gabriel Grovlez and Camille Saint-Saëns. He will also bring us closer to home, with music by English composer Matthew Arnold and Irish composer Joan Trimble. The programme will finish with perennial favourite Johannes Brahms.
