“Butt achieves a perfect balance between spontaneity and refinement,” (Gramophone Magazine)
We are delighted to return to the enchanting Casino Marino, a masterpiece in Palladian architecture on the North Side of Dublin, for two performances by cellist, William Butt. A much-admired exponent of the solo cello repertoire, Butt is a prolific performer of works for the medium by a myriad of contemporary composers, as well as the suites of Bach and Britten which he has recorded to critical-acclaim. Alongside Bach’s much-loved First Cello Suite, he presents the celebrated Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Sonata for Solo Cello, a magnificent evocation of the Baroque era. Garth Knox’s The Little Galway Bay Suite, commissioned by Music for Galway for its 2024 edition of Cellisimo, also features on the rich musical menu.
Presented in partnership with the Office of Public Works and in association with Casino Marino

The Casino was designed by Sir William Chambers in the late eighteenth-century as a pleasure house for James Caulfeild, 1st Earl of Charlemont. It is widely acknowledged as the most important example of neoclassical architecture in Ireland. The Casino is operated and managed by the Office of Public Works and is only 15 minutes from Dublin’s city centre.
