Following much-lauded performances of a special arrangement of JS Bach’s towering work, Goldberg Variations at Casino Marino last year, we are delighted to welcome back accordionists Dermot Dunne and Martin Tourish for a repeat performance this season.
On this occasion, they present Dunne’s own brilliant arrangement of this extraordinary masterpiece by Bach in the magnificent surroundings of the Elizabethan Rathfarnham Castle, in the charming neighbourhood of Rathfarnham Village.

The original castle at Rathfarnham dates back to the Elizabethan period and was built for Archbishop Adam Loftus, an ambitious Yorkshire clergyman who later became Lord Chancellor of Ireland. In the late eighteenth century, the house was remodelled on a splendid scale employing some of the finest architects of the day including Sir William Chambers and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart.
