"The colouring of the string tone was sensuous,
the timing of give-and-take impeccable, the moments of high spirits utterly irresistible"

Based in Limerick in the west of Ireland, the Irish Chamber Orchestra is regarded as one of Ireland's greatest jewels. Its reputation as a fresh and exciting ensemble continues to grow under the direction of Anthony Marwood, with a schedule that includes international tours, hosting the annual Killaloe Music Festival each July, and maintaining a broad base of concertizing at home.

Violinist Anthony Marwood is a well-recognized soloist and conductor. He was recently named Instrumentalist of the Year at the Royal Philharmonic Society Awards, the first string player to receive this honor in more than a decade, confirming him as one of the most sought-after and versatile violinists of his generation. A regular soloist/director with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Marwood is also on the staff at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
