BBC Radio 3 Piano Recital: Michael McHale

The Portico of Ards, Steel Dickson Avenue, Portaferry, County Down, BT22 1LE
BBC R3  piano recital with Michale McHale

About

Michael McHale & Friends' weekend mini-festival: the first of a trio of BBC Radio 3 concerts being recorded at Portico over one weekend.

Belfast pianist Michael McHale presents three special concerts in Portico in association with BBC Radio 3, comprising an opening solo piano concert and a pair of duo recitals with two of the world's finest wind soloists, clarinettist Michael Collins and oboist Juliana Koch. Each concert will include music from recent acclaimed album releases in what promises to be a feast for music lovers, with beloved favourites alongside lesser-known gems of the classical repertoire.

Belfast-born Michael McHale has established himself as one of Ireland's leading pianists and has developed a busy international career as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician.

He has performed and recorded as a soloist with the Minnesota and Hallé Orchestras, the Moscow, Bournemouth, Jacksonville, Fort Smith, BBC and London Symphony Orchestras, City of London Sinfonia, London Mozart Players and all five of the major Irish orchestras.
