† First performances

Mozart’s B flat major quartet is one of Mozart’s most beautiful creations. Timelessly elegant and famously featuring a prominent cello part, the quartet culminates in a sparklingly finale. 

The Gealán Quartet commissioned a fine quartet by Michael Doherty for their 2023 tour of Ireland and follow it up this year with more music by this acclaimed Dublin composer.

Schubert’s Quartetsatz is the first movement of a string quartet he was never to complete. Its turbulent minor key opening gives way to a magical singing melody and the drama and contrasts continue throughout.

Grieg’s great string quartet is one of the lesser known masterpieces in all chamber music. Full of vivid storytelling and beautiful sonorities, this is one not to be missed!
