Irish Chamber Orchestra and renowned pianist to play Beethoven compositions at Kerry venue
Mr Bezuidenhout is returning for his third collaboration with the orchestra for the next instalment of his much-anticipated Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle
The South African-born pianist brings his own blend of brilliance to Beethoven's music and, following on the success of Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3 in October 2023, he is turning his attention to Piano Concertos 2 and 4.
Each piece promises to be a dramatic dialogue between Bezuidenhout and the orchestra, from fierce defiance to tender vulnerability while pushing boundaries with bold, expressive depth.
Piano Concerto 2 is said to sparkle with youthful charm and wit while Concerto 4 is said to be intimate and emotional before soaring to a radiant finale.
The Irish Chamber Orchestra and Kristian Bezuidenhout will play the Tralee venue on Friday, June 20.
Tickets can be purchased online for €28.50 (retired/unwaged: €26) plus booking fees at
The Irish Chamber Orchestra will play the University Concert Hall in Limerick on June 19 and The Whyte Recital Hall in Dublin on June 21.
