The Linenhall is thrilled to announce that it will play host to world-renowned cellist ‘Patrick Dexter’ this evening, Friday, March 25.
This will be Dexter’s first solo show post Covid-19, during which he utilised the global pause to develop new ways of reaching his audience from the rugged surrounds of his cottage in Mayo, charming cello enthusiasts and music lovers the world over. His open air recitals racked up millions of views on Tik Tok and social media platforms unexpectedly, turning Patrick into a deserving global sensation.
Dexter’s album Solace is due for release in 2022, exploring themes of home, nature and the Mayo landscape and ahead of its debut, the Linenhall is honoured to showcase his new body of work in their historic building.
At this intimate performance, Patrick will be joined by his father, conductor and pianist John Dexter, as a special guest. Tickets are available from the Linenhall website or from box office on (094 ) 9023733.
Tomorrow evening, Saturday, March 26, heralds the welcome return of Mikel Murfi and his production, The Man In The Woman’s Shoes.
Set in October 1978, it follows Pat Farnon as he walks to town and back again. A beautifully observed piece, utterly simple, and widely praised, it was originally commissioned by Sligo County Council Arts Service and The Hawk’s Well Theatre as part of the Bealtaine Festival 2012, and has toured nationally and internationally ever since.
Funny, tender and at times downright daft, The Man In The Woman’s Shoes, written and performed by Murfi, is a wonderful piece of theatre, the perfect way to spend a special Saturday evening.
