Marmen Quartet
We are delighted to welcome the Marmen Quartet back to Sligo. The quartet brings its energy and intelligence to an impressive range of repertoire, ranging from Haydn to music of today.
Johannes Marmen violin
Laia Valentin Braun violin
Bryony Gibson-Cornish viola
Sinéad O’Halloran cello
The Sunrise is perhaps the most popular of all Haydn’s wonderful string quartets. Each of its four movements is vividly characterised – the first evoking the rising of the sun, the second prayerful, the third presenting a wild dance and the finale creating imaginative variations around a simple folksong-like theme. Sam Perkin’s revision of his 2016 My Young Love Was Gone for voice and quartet will feature the singing voice of cellist Sinéad O’Halloran. Bartók’s third quartet is one of the most astonishing achievements in all chamber music. Written just six months before his death, Beethoven’s sublime last string quartet is a distillation of all that went before.
