31st May- Soloist in Hugh Lane Gallery with the RTÉ ConTempo string quartet
Deirdre will perform with RTÉ ConTempo string quartet for a lunch time concert in The Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin on May 31st.
The RTÉ ConTempo string quartet have launched a new concert series which will see them bring their Father and Sons concept from Galway to The Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.
ConTempo, as well as being appointed the RTÉ String Quartet in residence, have been The Galway Music Residency’s ensemble-in-residence for the past eleven years. As part of their regular afternoon concerts at the Galway City Library, the quartet have been exploring the legacy of the great Classical master of the string quartet, Haydn, and his Irish ‘disciples’. ConTempo are now launching a new facet of the Father and Sons concerts: a regular appearance as part of the Hugh Lane Gallery’s Sundays@Noon events. Deirdre Moynihan will be the featured soloist on May 31st. Programme details to be announced.
Taking place on the last Sunday of every month, the quartet will perform one Haydn string quartet, alongside at least one more by a 21st century Irish composer, who will also speak about their work. For each concert, they will be joined by an additional special guest musician, such as Deirdre Moynihan (soprano), Zoe Conway (fiddle), Finghin Collins (pf), Cliona Doris (hrp) and William Dowdall (fl). The result is a wide-ranging showcase of Irish chamber music, and an examination of how contemporary Irish music fits into the historical classical canon.
The series is in association with the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, Dublin City Council, RTÉ and CMC.
