“St Patrick's Church in Greystones was packed to capacity last Saturday, November 8, as the local community gathered to pay tribute to the 22 local men listed on the 1st World War memorial tablet in the church.

“Dublin-based pianist Svetlana Rudenko graced the John Field Room of the National Concert Hall with an eclectic program of music on Friday. From the familiar to the not-so-familiar, the recital featured a selection of pieces that livened up a rainy Friday lunchtime. Rudenko shows a real sensitivity to the music, allowing the sense of space in each to come through. Engaging, exciting, and sensitive towards the music being performed, Rudenko puts a bit of sunshine back into a wet Friday afternoon.”

“Irish cellist Annette Cleary and Ukraine-born pianist Svetlana Rudenko opened their concert with a serving of Webern at his most condensed. The three miniatures all offered fleeting tastes of pristine tuning, intelligent interpretation and taut dialogue. Svetlana Rudenko followed with a power-packed account of Liszt’s supreme Sonata in B minor that revealed no inhibiting concerns for the practicable or even the physically possible. Rudenko’s forcible musicality was an easy match for the at-times formidable piano part of the Sonata in D minor by Shostakovich.”
