WATERFORD-MUSIC & THE NATIONAL STRING QUARTET FOUNDATION PRESENT:
PIROSMANI QUARTET

Mairead Hickey violin
William Hagen violin
Georgy Kovalev viola
Ella van Poucke cello

Cork violinist Mairead Hickey leads a star-studded lineup of international musicians. Beethoven’s Op.18 No.3 was by some accounts his first string quartet and from its lyrical opening to its fleet- footed finale it carries the hallmarks of the master’s genius. We lost many of Brahms’ quartets through his obsessive self censorship, but this magnificent A minor quartet is one of the three masterpieces that escaped his fireplace. Sean Doherty’s fine ‘Night Piece’ was written for Mairead Hickey’s Ortus Festival in Cork in February 2020.

Programme:

Beethoven – Quartet in D major Op.18 No.3 [1798]

Sean Doherty – ‘Night Piece’ [2020]

Brahms – Quartet in A minor Op.51 No.2 [1873]
