National String Quartet Foundation: Piatti Quartet featuring a work by Deirdre Gribbin (TOUR)
Piatti Quartet: Michael Trainor, violin; Emily Holland, violin; Miguel Sobrinho, viola; Jessie Ann Richardson, cello.
The acclaimed Piatti Quartet has received accolades for recent recordings and was recently appointed resident quartet at London’s King’s Place. They return to Ireland with Dvořák’s G major string quartet, paired with Smetana’s autobiographical quartet ‘From My Life'. For Cork’s shorter lunchtime concert the Piatti will replace the Smetana with Rachmaninov’s early string quartet. CMC Composer Deirdre Gribbin’s ‘Somewhere I have never travelled’ completes the programme.
Tour runs 24 - 26 November.
