Pianist Úna Hunt teams up with Irish mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty to take a less travelled road and in their joint repertoire honour works of sung and unsung female composers, such as Joan Trimble and Cécile Chaminade. These wonder women musicians will finally present their programme, including some arias and piano pieces by William V. Wallace, in the Large Room of City Hall on 17th February 2022.

“...what made this recital special was the way this partnership captured the inner aspects of the songs … Adjectives seem inadequate for such focused, intelligent artistry.” The Irish Times
