West Cork Chamber Music Festival Solos Weekend

With the last number of weeks, Francis Humphrys, Director of the West Cork Chamber Music Festival, has been joining Elmarie to chat about this year's Festival. Without being able to bring musicians from all over the word to Bantry House, instead those musicians are fulfilling their concerts by recording in wonderful theatres all over Europe and streaming them via West Cork Music. Francis has programmed some gorgeous themed weekends ahead of the "Festival Proper" in a few weeks' time. So today he chatted to Elmarie about 3 concerts featuring Solo Musicians. These concerts will be broadcast from London, Paris and Budapest Francis had all the details.
