The Festival is delighted to welcome Chinese guitar sensation Xuefei Yang back to Ireland following her
appearance at Russborough and the National Gallery of Ireland in 2007. On this occasion she is partnered
by the gifted British cellist Natalie Clein who has gone on to be one of the most successful recipients of
the BBC Musician of the Year competition. Having forged highly-successful international careers which
have seen them individually perform around the world, these talent musicians collaborate on an evocative
and tantalising programme of music for cello and guitar in the intimate surroundings of Beaulieu House.
This concert will be recorded by RTÉ lyric fm for future broadcast.
