In addition to her accomplished career as a soloist, Dearbhla is a regular chamber music partner to many internationally renowned singers and musicians. 

The moving song cycle Frauenliebe-und-leben by Robert Schumann forms the cornerstone for this recital with Niamh O’Sullivan and Dearbhla Collins which also includes some of Schubert’s most beloved songs and a little nostalgic journey down an English / Irish country lane.

Nicky Spence and Dearbhla Collins explore settings of Shakespearean texts in music in English and German ranging from Purcell through Haydn and Schubert to Britten and Tippett.

Sir Simon Keenlyside, baritone and Dearbhla Collins bring you on a beautiful journey of love, loss and the magic of nature in songs by Schubert, Wolf, Duparc and Faure among others.
