The National String Quartet Foundation presents:
Piatti Quartet
Michael Trainor, violin
Emily Holland, violin
Miguel Sobrinho, viola
Jessie Ann Richardson, cello
Programme
Purcell -Chacony (arr. Britten) [1680/1963]
Mendelssohn - Quartet in E flat major Op.12 [1829]
Charlotte Harding - Iorsa [2022]
Moeran - Quartet in E flat [1923]
The Piatti Quartet return for their latest tour for the National String Quartet Foundation with a wide-ranging and entertaining programme. Mendelssohn’s beautiful E flat quartet was his first published quartet and from the first bars draws the listener into a world of dramatic story-telling. Moeran’s second quartet shares the same key but in contrast offers a beguiling world of English and Irish folk song and dance, mixed perhaps with the influence of Debussy. Charlotte Harding’s ‘Iorsa’ evokes the scenic glen on the Isle of Arran. For more information please contact: NSQF.ie
