Handprint: Before and Beyond

Handprint is an exciting recital programme by Irish pianist, Thérèse Fahy, born of the realisation that much contemporary piano music seems to be composed for pianists with large hands. Thérèse has commissioned six major Irish composers to write new works for her, enriching the musical landscape by enhancing the piano repertoire with a highly innovative collection of piano pieces, the Handprint Collection, specifically designed for smaller hands - something which has never been done before.

Central to each concert is two of the new works, and pieces specially selected by the composers as ones that have had an influence on their work, and by Fahy to complete the programme.
