The concert takes place this Sunday 14th April, 3.30pm at University Concert Hall, Limerick with RTÉ lyric fm’s, Lorcan Murray presenting and renowned pianist Dearbhla Collins providing accompaniment on the night.  

A unique part of the concert is that the programme is curated entirely by our Rising Stars artists, made up of works chosen by themselves. The 2024 includes works by Liszt, Mahler, Schumann, Bach and Debussy among others.

Sinead Hope, Director of University Concert Hall on Rising Stars: “Classical music is one of the cornerstones of our annual programme at UCH and supporting and fostering young artists is a key part of that.

“As the leading venue in the mid-west region, it is important that we offer an opportunity and a platform to emerging artists to perform for new audiences. I am blown away each year by the calibre of young Irish artists, and this year is no different. It is my pleasure to work with the various music colleges from around the country and bring Rising Stars to life each year”.
