Experience Andreas Brantelid live on June 27th

Andreas Brantelid, a Swedish cellist recognized for his insightful interpretations and technical mastery, will perform at Bantry House in County Cork, Ireland on June 27th, 2026. Brantelid’s repertoire spans a broad range, encompassing works from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions, frequently noted for its clarity of tone and emotional depth. He is a frequent collaborator with leading orchestras and chamber ensembles internationally and has received acclaim for both solo performances and chamber music recordings.

Bantry House stands as a significant historical landmark in West Cork. Originally built in 1739 by Richard White, 1st Earl of Bantry, it was extensively remodeled in the 1840s, resulting in the largely Gothic Revival style seen today. The estate’s history is intertwined with the attempted French invasion of Bantry Bay in 1796; the house served as a temporary headquarters for General Hoche during this event. Remaining within the White family for generations, Bantry House opened to the public in 1946 and is known for its impressive architecture, extensive gardens—including a renowned Italian garden—and panoramic views over Bantry Bay.
