on Saturday 21st October from 19:00 at Tullynally Castle, Castlepollard, Westmeath
Cork cellist Sinead O’Halloran’s remarkable Marmen Quartet returns for a second tour for the National String Quartet Foundation and their first for the DMA. Their performances of Haydn’s quartets are becoming legendary and they start with his D major quartet Op.33 No.6. At the heart of the concerts lie the first performances of a new quartet by acclaimed Dublin-born composer Garth Knox and they conclude with Janáček’s famously vivid and impassioned story of spiritual love. We are greatly indebted to the funding support provided to the NSQF by the Arts Council and Lyric fm.
Programme Haydn – Quartet Op.33 No.6 [1781] Schubert – Quartetsatz [1820] Garth Knox – Secret letters [2023]* Janáček – Quartet No.2 Intimate Letters [1928]
*Commissioned by the Marmen Quartet with funds from the Arts Council of Ireland
Tickets are €28 per person and can be purchased here. The concert commences at 7pm and doors will be closed until the next break in music.
This event is being organised by Derravaragh Music Association
