Patrick Rafter is a gifted and outstanding young violinist with an established international career and a huge future ahead of him. From winning international competitions to sharing the stage with the likes of Maxim Vengerov, Barry Douglas, Marin Alsop and Sir Mark Elder, Patrick hit the international circuit to rave reviews. That international career delayed Patrick’s hometown Kilkenny Arts Festival debut until 2019 and was of course a festival highlight. We’re understandably very proud of Patrick, and won’t even mention his stellar early hurling career, because that would just be showing off!
We’re thrilled to share this very special and intimate performance from Patrick with you today.
