Rebecca Capova, a distinguished alumna of the CIT Cork School of Music will give a full length piano recital at the CIT Cork School of Music prior to her tour of China. Rebecca studied under the tutelage of Eleanor Malone from 1986-1998 at the CIT Cork School of Music. In 1994 she won the Junior Concerto competition which led to a performance of Beethoven Concerto No. 1 with the CIT Cork School of Music Symphony Orchestra under Adrian Petcu.
Rebecca went on to study under Pavel Gililov at the Hochschule fur Musik, Cologne where she was awarded several prizes including 2nd Prize at the International Piano Competition Citta Di Sulmona, Italy. She was recently awarded a First Class Honours Masters Degree in Piano Performance at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Rebecca has given many concerts both at home and abroad. Concerto performances include those with the Pardubice Philharmonic Orchestra, Prague, Chrudim, Hochschulsinfonieorchester, Cologne and with the RTE National Symphony Orchestra in Ireland.
Rebecca was born into a musical family in Cork. Both her parents, Jan and Susan Cap are piano teachers on the staff at the CIT Cork School of Music. Gabriela Mayer, Head of Keyboard Studies at the CIT Cork School of Music said, “Rebecca is a great musical ambassador for Cork and we are very proud of her.”

Cork Orchestral Society is delighted to announce a performance by the feisty, yodelling Austrian String Trio Netnasikum as part of their Irish tour. Valentine’s eve is the perfect night for this first visit to Cork by the extraordinary and entertaining group. Fine musicians who combine their native folk music with Johann Strauss melodies, the rhythms of Hungarian gipsy music, Balkan jazz and Latin American flavours, they also yodel in close harmony (while accompanying themselves!) and include a healthy dose of humour in their performances. Having sold out on previous Irish tours this concert will be a real talking point.
The Austrian classical string combo, Netnakisum, return to Ireland to promote the launch of their new album “Nutville”. Last year, the girls had a very successful tour that saw them play sell-out concerts nationwide. A Netnakisum concert will have audiences spell-bound by their stunning musicianship and charisma on stage. The girls have made wonderful original arrangements of Mozart polkas and Strauss waltzes, as well as tangos and traditional Austrian harmonic yodeling!
With humourous introductions and banter, the concert is ideal for introducing new audiences to classical music.
Saturday 20 February @ 1.10pmCurtis Auditorium, CIT Cork School of Music Camerata Kilkenny with Wilbert Hazelzet (baroque flute) J.S. Bach’s Musical Offering |
Thursday 4 March @ 8pmCurtis Auditorium, CIT Cork School of Music Brahms 3 Intermezzi, Op. 117 |
Saturday 6 March @ 1.10pmCurtis Auditorium, CIT Cork School of Music Fleischmann Choir Dvorák’s Mass in D Dvorák composed his Mass in D in 1887 for an architect friend, Josef Hlávka, the founder and first President of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts. Hlávka had built himself a private chapel at Lutany Castle and needed a suitable work for performance at the consecration. It was originally written for choir and organ and it has a charming, intimate character which comes over best in its original form. The Fleischmann Choir has established an impeccable reputation as one of the finest mixed-voice choirs in the country. It specialises in performing large-scale repertory and is delighted to be able to work with the acclaimed Organist of St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork, James Taylor. |
Thursday 18 March @ 8pmCurtis Auditorium, CIT Cork School of Music Haydn Quartet in Eb, Op. 33 No. 2 ("Joke") |
Winners of the Concert Artists Guild Competition in New York, the Kuhmo International Chamber Music Competition and major prizes at the Bordeaux,
London and Osaka competitions, the Anglo-Irish Carducci quartet has established an enthusiastic international following.
The Carducci Quartet is recognised as one of today’s most exciting young string quartets. Based in the UK, the quartet holds residencies at Trinity College of Music in London, Cardiff University and at the Cork School of Music in Ireland. The 2009-2010 season will see the quartet perform over 90 concerts worldwide, including performances at London’s Wigmore Hall and Washington’s Library of Congress.
Saturday 20 March @ 1.10pmCurtis Auditorium, CIT Cork School of Music Cork School of Music Symphony Orchestra Dvorák’s Symphony No. 8 in G major is performed often, but is sometimes (and some would say unfairly!) overshadowed by his Ninth Symphony ("From the New World"). The Eighth is very cheery and draws its inspiration from the Bohemian folk music that Dvo!ák loved so much. The Cork School of Music Symphony Orchestra enjoys an extraordinary reputation for an amateur orchestra. This concert will sell out very quickly – you have been warned! |

The junior competition is open to students under 17 years of age and candidates are required to perform a programme of 15 to 20 minutes. Competitors are required to perform for 25-35 minutes in the senior competition. |

With a string of major awards, Xue Fei Yang is fast developing a reputation as one of the brightest guitar talents, dazzling audiences with her sparkling virtuosity and musical imagination. In this concert she is joined by the equally sensational cellist Natalie Clein for an evening of music with a Latin twist, from the clacking castanets of Spain to the tango-imbued music of Argentina’s Astor Piazzolla – with a sideorder of well-known Bach.
Wednesday 28 April @ 8pmCity Hall, Cork Liedertafel (Dachau), Fleischmann Choir, & Cork School of Music Symphony Orchestra Dvorák Mass in D What more appropriate way is there for the Centenary of the birth of Aloys Fleischmann to be celebrated during the Opening Gala Concert of the Cork International Choral Festival than with a performance of one of his finest works which will not only involves over 300 performers, but also every member of the audience. The soloist in a performance of Gilbert Vinter’s hauntingly beautiful Hunter’s Moon will be Conor Palliser (French Horn), recently selected to be a member of the prestigious European Youth Orchestra. |
