Pianist Syme in demand

American pianist David Syme has become a familiar figure on the Irish concert circuit in recent years.

David divides his time between homes in Houston, Texas, and Adrigole on the Beara peninsula in west Cork.

In Beara, David frequently throws open his home for concerts. Maureen O’Hara has been a guest, and Christy Moore has been a guest and an impromptu performer. In Jul 2011, one of David’s ‘at home’ concerts was featured by presenter Mary Kennedy on the RTE’s Nationwide.
