Robinson Panoramic Quartet

Programme:

The Robinson Panoramic Quartet comprises members of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, the Irish Baroque Orchestra and the Crash Ensemble. These musicians are at the forefront of their field in Ireland and are continually involved in many diverse chamber music projects.

This pioneering group explores the possibilities of an alternative to the conventional string quartet in which both tonal palette and range are extended. Composers have reacted very enthusiastically and they have built up a significant repertoire for the Robinson Panoramic Quartet.
 

Pre-concert talk: 20:15, performance: 21:00

Greg Caffrey, on behalf of Contemporary Music Centre, hosts a pre-concert panel discussion at 20:15. The panel will include composer Amy Rooney and members of the Robinson Panoramic Quartet. Amy will discuss her new commission Accuracy and Precision, and how she approached composing for Robinson Panoramic Quartet's instrumentation of violin, viola, cello and double bass. The panel will also discuss Raymond Deane's Quadripartita and Matthew Whiteside's Quartet, both also composed for violin, viola, cello and double bass.

Tickets for the event are available here.
