Vanbrugh and Friends at The Mall Arts Centre Youghal

Come along and experience the symphonic and classical music of Vanbrugh and friends in the intimate setting of The Mall Arts Centre. Join the ensemble and allows yourself to really focus in and feel what each individual musician and performer is trying to convey. Every player has their own, individual part to play; and, at the same time, the handful of players learn to work together to play as ONE

The Vanbrugh and their guests present two of the greats from the extended chamber music repertoire. Beethoven’s Op.29 string quintet, nicknamed ‘The Storm’, was written in 1801, shortly after his Op.18 string quartets and combines his mastery of quartet writing with the expansive richness of texture offered by the addition of a second viola. Tchaikovsky’s epic string sextet ‘Souvenir de Florence’ from 1892 adds a second cello into the mix and from the first bar the music pulsates with intensity and energy.

THE VANBRUGH AND FRIENDS comprises: Keith Pascoe, violin, Marja Gaynor, violin, Simon Aspell, viola, Ed Creedon, viola, Christopher Marwood, cello, Maria O'Connor, cello PROGRAMME Beethoven: String Quintet in C major Op.29 Tchaikovsky: String Sextet in D Minor Op.70 'Souvenir de Florence'

National String Quartet Foundation together with principal funders the Arts Council and RTÉ Lyric FM, Cork County Council.
