John O’Conor and Ailbhe McDonagh join forces to bring an intimate evening of cello and piano music at The Source. They will perform sonatas by Beethoven and some glorious shorter works by Faurè, Chopin and McDonagh herself. Ailbhe has also composed a new piece especially for this concert tour. This world premiere is written to celebrate John on his 75th birthday. "John O'Connor has the kind of flawless touch that makes an audience gasp" - Washington Post "McDonagh and O' Conor take the opening of Beethoven's Op. 102/1 to whispered heights. They find buoyant, almost dancing, rhythms." - Classical Explorer
