This superb ensemble will be performing Claude Bolling's Concerto for Classical Guitar and Jazz Piano and his Picnic Suite - following a very successful rrecent performance at Dublin's National Concert Hall. two contrasting musical forces play in opposing styles in these pieces - the classical guitar and flute against the jazz piano, bass and drums - making for stunningly attractive music incorporating highly melodic passages and sparkling ensembles.

Line up: Jerry Creedon (Guitar), John O'Connor (flutes)), Nicole Panizza (piano), Deirdre Frost (double bass) and Tomas Gall (percussion).
