The
1998 Waterford International Masterclass
Festival got underway with a tremendously
enthusiastic audience at the opening concert
in the Good Shepherd Chapel on Thursday
August 13th 1998, with Dutch violinist
Gwendoline Masin playing encores for a
standing ovation.
Getting
into the spirit of the festival are Gwendolyn
and German violinist Christian Tecklenborg,
dressed as Waterfords Strongbow and Aoife.
They drew crowds at Dublins Grafton Street
when they stopped off to pay tribute to Molly
Malone while on their way to Waterford.
