Michael Collins is one of the most complete musicians of his generation. With a continuing distinguished career as a soloist, he has in recent years also become highly regarded as a conductor.
In great demand as a chamber musician, Michael performs regularly with the Borodin, Heath and Belcea quartets, Andras Schiff, Martha Argerich, Stephen Hough, Mikhail Pletnev, Lars Vogt, Joshua Bell and Steven Isserlis. He has been committed to expanding the repertoire of the clarinet for many years and has given premières of works by John Adams, Elliott Carter, Brett Dean and Mark-Anthony Turnage. During the 2019-20 season he was Artist in Residence at the Wigmore Hall. In the Queens’s Birthday Honours of 2015, Michael Collins was awarded an MBE for his services to music. He plays Yamaha clarinets.
Belfast-born Michael McHale has established himself as one of Ireland’s leading pianists and has developed a busy international career as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician. He has performed and recorded as a soloist with the Minnesota and Hallé Orchestras, the Moscow, Bournemouth, Jacksonville, Fort Smith, BBC and London Symphony Orchestras, City of London Sinfonia, London Mozart Players and all five of the major Irish orchestras, and performed at many festivals worldwide.
