Read Finghin's own words on what the RTÉ NSO Associate Artist position means to him.

On the concert
Finghin Collins, Associate Artist of RTÉ NSO, has accepted the mammoth task of performing the complete Mozart piano concerti. An opportunity to play 'large-scale chamber music', with no conductor, it represents an exciting strand to the season. Of numbers 9 and 12, Mozart wrote, 'a happy medium between what is too easy and too difficult; they are brilliant, pleasing to the ear and natural.' As for number 20, expect overtly dark drama!
