Theatre Lane
Greystones has a special musical treat in store this month when the acclaimed Degani Piano Trio along with renowned Irish actor Barry McGovern join forces to present a powerful concert entitled ‘Beethoven: Words and Music’.
The Degani Piano Trio return to the Whale Theatre in a performance of two of Beethoven’s Piano Trios Op.70 No.1 in D major ‘Ghost’ and the Piano Trio Op.1 No.1 in E flat major. The much loved ‘Ghost’ Trio shows the passionate and mysterious side of Beethoven while the exuberant and joyous Piano Trio Op1 No.1 in E flat major show him in his most optimistic mood. Beethoven’s music will be illuminated by excerpts from his letters both funny and heartrending with narration by acclaimed Irish Actor Barry McGovern.
Barry McGovern will narrate excerpts of the great composer’s own letters both funny and heartrending as in his ‘Heiligenstadt Testament’ which will illuminate the vigour and sensitivity of Beethoven’s music
