Banbha Quartet at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on Saturday 23 November. The NSQF presents this performance of Beethoven's String Quartet in F minor Op.95, Doherty's Varsouviana and Schubert's Death and the Maiden.
The Banbha Quartet brings together four of Ireland’s finest musicians and is one of a new generation of string quartets nurtured by the National String Quartet Foundation and building a following amongst audiences. For their fifth tour they present popular masterpieces by Beethoven and Schubert alongside a new work by Donegal fiddler turned renowned composer Seán Doherty. Inspired by the mix of Irish and Polish musicians in the Banbha Quartet, Sean’s latest string quartet celebrates the Mazurka, originally a Polish folk dance, made famous by Chopin’s piano works and also incorporated into the Donegal fiddle tradition.
