The Fidelio Trio Winter Chamber Music Festival 2025 returns with three remarkable days of music, from Friday, 28th of November to Sunday, 30th of November 2025, bringing world-class chamber music performances to some of North Dublin’s most iconic settings. Presented by GlasDrum and curated by the internationally acclaimed ‘virtuosic Fidelio Trio’ (Sunday Times), this year’s festival celebrates dialogue across time and place: from the intimacy of Schumann’s Romanticism to the vitality of contemporary Irish composition, from the stillness of a tree seen through a window at the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland, to the vast, surging expanse of the wind and sea.
On Saturday the 29th of November, the festival presents a free lunchtime concert in the serene setting of The National Botanic Gardens of Ireland. The programme shines a spotlight on the music of acclaimed composer Nick Roth, with the world premiere of his Arts Council of Ireland funded commission of a new work for violin and cello inspired by the Tree of Heaven, Ailanthus altissima. The programme is complimented with Telemann’s Fantasia No. 7 and No. 10 for Solo Violin, finishing with music from J.S Bach’s Suite for solo cello.
