My Weekend: The line between work and pleasure can become very blurred with music!


I first performed with the Ortús Chamber Music Festival in 2018 and I’ve enjoyed working with the Ortús Outreach initiatives since then, aiming to introduce classical chamber music to primary school children. I’m looking forward to performing again this year with the wonderful Cellist Killian White.

An avid chamber musician, Ellen performs regularly with violinist Patrick Rafter, as well as in festivals including the Ortús Chamber Music Festival, Killaloe Chamber Music Festival and the ‘Finding a Voice’ Festival in Clonmel. This year’s Ortús Chamber Music Festival takes place from February 28 to March 1 in various venues around Cork city and county and Ellen will be appearing alongside Killian White on cello at Tracton Arts & Community Centre on Saturday, February 29.
