Events 2009 ........

We have an extensive calendar at Russborough for 2009. As we continuously have events added throughout the year, it is useful to mark this page as a Favourite so that you can return and check it regularly. We would also advise that many of our musical evenings have been sold out before the closing date, so it is advisable to book online early. It is also worth noting that we are open all year around by appointment.

The Tradition
Club





Evening Music by The Tradition Club
A Traditional music in evening concert, with meal available beforehand
The Tradition Club was formed in Spring 2008 and, although the band is a new arrival on the concert circuit, it's members need very little by way of introduction to followers of Traditional Music.
The Band's line-up is impressive and features Kevin Conneff of The Chieftains (multi Grammy award winners) on vocals and bodhrán, Dubliner Paul McGrattan (The Frost is all over, Keelwest, Beginish .....) on flute, Dundalk maestro Gerry O'Connor on fiddle (Lá Lugh, Skylark, Journeyman ......) and Breton guitar virtuoso Gilles le Bigot (Skolvan, Barzaz, Empreintes....) on guitar and tambura.
The Band's repertoire is mainly made up of traditional music and song from Ireland and Brittany with some Scottish material added for good measure.

Margarete Babinsky

Pianist


Austrian Pianist - Margarete Babinsky

By the time she was eight years old the Viennese child Margarete Babinsky had declared to anyone who would listen, and to plenty who wouldn't: "I want to be a pianist," and coming straight to the point as always, she immediately turned the plan into reality.
Irrespective of whether in Europe, Asia, Africa or South America, the public and critics are enthused by Margarete Babinsky's charismatic radiance and her naturalness. The Viennese pianist has made music with such orchestras the Vienna Symphony, the Budapest Symphony, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the Vienna Chamber Philharmonic, the Chamber Orchestra of the Vienna Volksoper, the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre d'Auvergne, the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic, the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic and the Cairo Symphony Orchestra. Her most distinguished partners at the conductor's rostrum to date have been Lord Yehudi Menuhin and Vladimir Fedosejev........ Now Margarete is to play at Russborough in the Saloon.

Patrick Walshe Exhibition

Patrick Walshe Painting Exhibition

The 2nd Annual Patrick Walshe painting exhibition.
email: events@russborough.ie

"My ambitions are to be able to continue this fascinating journey where every new painting is a further step, a culmination of a lifetime’s exploration. I feel truly lucky to be where I am in life. On reflection my choices have often seemed arbitrary and spontaneous though I believe the directional tug has always been inevitable. It is a marvellous experience to, at last, be carried along by a steady stream of inspiration. It has been hard fought for and I never take for granted the delicacy of the gossamer thread by which it all hangs."
