Banbha Quartet - Autumn String Quartet Series

The Banbha Quartet was founded in 2020 by four of our most celebrated musicians, including Cork cellist Aoife Burke. Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov’s beautiful, meditative ‘Ikon’ and a new work by acclaimed Dublin-based composer Tom Lane lie at the heart of their programme for this, their third tour for the Foundation. The concerts open with a delicate masterpiece by Mozart and end with Mendelssohn’s dramatic, virtuosic E minor quartet.
