Cormuin Ó Raghallaigh returns to the National Concert Hall to play a programme of his favourite composers. This promises to be a delightful afternoon of solo piano music incorporating 5 different musical genres - baroque, classical, romantic, impressionist and 20th century. The programme includes Haydn's late sonata in C and Schubert's beautiful Impromptu in Bb.
