Life as a classical musician abroad

Joining Kieran is Dublin-born Recorder and Baroque Cellist extraordinaire, Kate Hearne. Kate Hearne is with the Woodpeckers Recorder Quartet, and they will be performing at the West Cork Chamber Music Festival which takes place in and around the town of Bantry in West Cork from Friday, June 27th to Sunday, July 6th. So far so normal, you might say. The catch is, Kate’s home is 200km North of the Arctic Circle in a place called Kiruna, in Lapland!
