Rothe House was the venue for Music in Kilkenny's season launch on Thursday.
Music in Kilkenny provides a performance platform for world-class artists from Ireland and abroad, performed in many beautiful venues both in Kilkenny City and across the county.
The new season features recitals from pianist, Michael McHale, the Callino String Quartet, and a performance of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion in St. Canice's Cathedral on March 23.
Music in Kilkenny started out in 1990 as the Dame Alice Music Club, when it staged its first concert in Castle Blunden, a concert of music featuring Andrew Manze and Richard Egarr. It began organising concert series in 1996 (as the Kilkenny Music Club) before settling eventually into its present incarnation (Music in Kilkenny) organising two seasons of concerts a year, from January to June and from September to December, comprising world-class performers from the classical, traditional, world music and jazz genres.
