NSQF present the Spero Quartet featuring a work by Deirdre Gribbin

The National String Quartet Foundation present the Spero Quartet Spring Tour featuring a work by Deirdre Gribbin. The Spero Quartet are: Jennifer Murphy; Brigid Leman; Ali Comerford; Yseult Cooper-Stockdale.

The Spero Quartet return for their fourth tour for the Foundation with a programme including one of Haydn’s most popular quartets, his Fifths quartet from 1797. Deirdre Gribbin’s ‘Hearing your genes evolve’ is based on DNA patterns from the 1000 Genomes project and Dvořák’s E flat major quartet is full of melody and Bohemian folk spirit.
