We are delighted to present a very special concert by the distinguished Irish pianist, Micéal O'Rourke who honours his lifelong friend, Anthony Glavin through music on the 20th Anniversary of his death.  A deeply respected poet and outstanding professor at the RIAM for many years, Anthony Glavin was a much-loved member of RIAM's Keyboard Department.

Míċeál O’Rourke’s lifelong commitment to music-making and his extensive repertoire have earned him enormous critical acclaim. His highly distinctive sound, presence, and ability to communicate musically have gripped public and critics alike.  On the occasion of Anthony Glavin's 20th Anniversary this poet of the piano performs works by Beethoven and Chopin alongside a selection of readings by pianist Peter Tuite, one of Anthony Glavin's most distinguished students and Head of Keyboard at RIAM.
