Beethoven String Quartet in F minor Op.95
Seán Doherty Mazovia to Meenbanad (Dublin premiere)
Schubert String Quartet in D minor Death and the Maiden

The Banbha Quartet returns for its fifth tour for the National String Quartet Foundation with a new work by Donegal fiddler turned internationally renowned composer Seán Doherty, tracing the incorporation of the Polish folk-dance Mazurka into the Donegal fiddle tradition. Commissioned by the quartet’s Polish violinist Lidia Jewloszewicz-Clarke, this new quartet will be a fascinating exploration of shared musical heritage. The programme is completed by two of the quartet repertoire’s best loved works, Beethoven’s short, dramatic F minor Op.95 and Schubert’s glorious Death and the Maiden

Presented by NCH in association with the National String Quartet Foundation
