An increasingly steamy evening of Tallis(ish)&Shaw, Purcell&Britten, Bach(ish)&Honstein, and improv in the beloved @kirkos_ensemble space. So grateful to everyone involved and in attendance! Might even share more because personally I can’t get enough of the sound world of gamba, baroque cello, and gut string bass 😍

1st March… Liz Nolan introduces the Ora Quartet and cellist Paul Grennan at UCH Limerick, playing two of the great chamber music masterpieces. See nsqf.ie ORA QUARTET Siún Milne, violin Molly O’Shea, violin Ali Comerford, viola Yseult Cooper-Stockdale, cello Benjamin Britten - String Quartet No.2 Op.36 [1945] Franz Schubert - String Quintet D.956 [1828] Britten’s second quartet was premiered at the Wigmore Hall, London in November 1945, barely two month after the end of the second world war. In July of that year Britten had travelled to Germany with violinist Yehudi Menuhin to play concerts to concentration camp survivors. He returned home and wrote this dramatic string quartet in which the intensity of emotion is almost palpable. Cellist Paul Grennan joins the Ora Quartet for Schubert’s towering string quintet, widely regarded as one of the greatest artistic achievements in Western culture. Francis Humphrys of West Cork Music writes: Schubert’s last years were a race against time. He knew he was fatally ill and this clearly heightened the emotional perceptions of his inspired romantic imagination. He died on 19th November 1828, after a ten-day illness. During the last days he was often delirious, but when he was lucid he spent his time correcting proofs of Winterreise. In the two previous months he had completed the last three magnificent piano sonatas in C minor, A major and B flat; the thirteen songs that make up Schwanengesang; the joyous Der Hirt auf dem Felsen that brings clarinet and soprano together; and, as if that were not enough, this overwhelming quintet. There seems to have been no commission for these works, just a desperate need to keep writing while he still could. It is likely that Schubert never even heard a rehearsal of the quintet before he died, and the piece lay unpublished in his papers until 1853

Hello, another composition from me. This is the first movement of my String Quartet No 1. The second movement (fugue) has yet to be performed. One of the things I wanted to explore in this piece was sort of an echo dialogue between instruments, where melodies or ostinatos are passed around, and at times overlapping. As well, I wanted to explore putting the instruments in somewhat unusual ranges or roles for them, as is clear at the beginning for example. Thank you to Ora Quartet for learning and performing this piece! Recording by Jonathan Nangle, 13/01/2026, Whyte Recital Hall. Youtube link in my bio!
