RTÉ ConTempo Quartet, working with Limerick Arts Office, will continue their spring programme of free recitals at Limerick City Gallery of Art (LCGA) this Thursday 25 at 6pm.
This quartet will present the second of three such concerts with a focus on the works of Antonín Dvořák, contemporary composer Kevin Volans, and Pizzola.
Their series concludes with a special pre-Easter recital in March of ‘Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross’ by Joseph Haydn, regarded as the father of the String Quartet.
Since its formation in Bucharest in 1995, the RTÉ Contempo Quartet has performed worldwide in venues such as St Martin-in-the-Fields, Berliner Philharmonie, Palazzo del Quirinale Rome, Carnegie Hall and the Opera House Tel-Aviv.
It plays in Belltable later this Thursday as part of Kaleidoscope Salon Night, sharing stage space with Bill Whelan and Anne-Marie O’Farrell.
The 8pm cabaret is a new element to Limerick Literary Festival, running Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 at various venues. See www.limerickliteraryfestival.com and book for all tickets at www.limetreetheatre.ie for box office.
