West Cork Chamber Music festival will be treated to demonstrations by instrument makers
WEST Cork Chamber Music Festival will celebrate its 21st anniversary when doors open to the first concert in Bantry House tomorrow. The spotlight naturally falls on the 85 performers who will breathe life into the contemporary and established masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire over the nine day festival.
However, a very important aspect of proceedings is the exhibition of work by the luthiers and archetiers on whom the players depend — that select group of craftsmen who make and maintain stringed instruments.
